SIDES - Inaugural Game Thread
In this thread, we will play a new word game called Sides. It's somewhat similar to codenames, but cooperative and different.
Sign up with /in below if you want to play.
In this game, a target word will be randed as will a row of 7 cards that have letters on them (most 1 letter, some 2/3/4 letters).
2 people will be the guessers and everyone else will be able to give a clue.
The clue given must start with the letter on either the first or last card (the 'sides' of the row).
We discuss as a team who will give the clue with open discussion in the thread such as "I have a 7 letter word starting with a C"
Once there is some agreement on who gives the clue, that person will bold the clue they want to give in the thread.
The two guessers will then discuss in the thread and bold their guess. If it's correct, we move on to the next guessers and the next word. If wrong, then the clue givers post some info like "you are warm" or "you are about 30% there" etc to give directional info on how on track/off track their guess is.
Then they discuss and give another clue. But the person who bolded a clue cannot give another clue for the same word until everyone on the cluing side has clued a word (if we take that long to get the word), so one person can't hog the cluing.
Clues have to be one word, or an acronym, etc like in codenames; they can be hyphenated words
We can also give some info on how the clues relate to each other, or even say a clue is a 0 clue, so the opposite of what cluing for (e.g., clue 'colorful' as an opposite clue because the word is zebra)
I'll provide more details and examples in the thread in the morning, but this should be enough info for you to /in and join so we can play.

Nice!!!
Idk what almond has to do w a croissant, I guess it is one? My other c6 was Cannes, seems like Cannes Roll would hit too
And apparently crescent is the translation! Just in case you thought we were lacking in fun facts!
Cannes ive not heard of! But moght have gone french bread gven where we were
Almond is probably the main crossant type after plain (discounting pain au chocolat which is not a croissant wnk wink)
Nice!!!

If you've never had an almond croissant, then you are missing out big time. This game actually made me go and get one myself lol...so good.
Wtf is a cannes roll?
Curved was a great clue btw, seems obvious in hindsight!
Yeah curved roll was my lock; too bad I didn’t think of it before bolding roll but Ervin got there!! Nice job
chocolat was my other option that wasn’t as good but should get there if y’all didn’t think of curved since it’s the French version
Cannes gets you to French which could get to croissant or baguette
Nice job, guys. My C6 was Cronut which is way illegal.
There's a place in town called Parlor Donuts. I thought they were a local business but it turns out they're a franchise primarily based in the midwest but with locations in about 20 states. They aren't quite cronuts but they're close and they're phenomenal.
Round 20:
Cards used: 25
Guessers: zeus/ervin
The Board:
A
The target word:
I've pmed it to d1iabol1cal, ibedrummin, bolt2112
NOTE: THIS IS THE LAST CARD IN THE GAME
a6 comes to mind
maybe a14
hopefully ya'll have some ideas
A5
Also A6 that might be Nich’s A6
A14 is a hail mary. Not sure what A6 is. A5 seems like our best hope.
A14 narrows it down to like 5-6 words and then would need some deduction
I think it’s better than a Hail Mary bc I see a path to getting the word from it, whereas other A words that I’ve thought of may not get the word as they can go on different paths
Haven’t figured out your a5 yet; hopefully it’s the best yet
Oh lol
Figured out A5; yeah that’s a banger
Are these the bacon rolls you were talking about?
no its this: https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/commen...
its a British institution like equivalent to I dunno grits for breakfast in the south
Bacon and syrup on a nice bread? Sounds yummy
A5 seems ok but I doubt it will work. I dunno what the other words mentioned are.
There's an a9 that would definitely get close, but it's by no means a lock.
I actually really like A6
And I agree that A5 won’t get there. It just seems really good because we know the target.
I have an idea that might work. A5
I still like a14; it narrows down to a handful and then they should be able to eliminate the others and confirm ours
