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.

Word sent.
K7 seems.good
T4 probably gets us there.
K9 might be worth it if we want to save T for the final round.
T4 also good.
But i think i prefer keeping T for final round?
I have a feeling your K7 and my K9 are the same.
Ooh yh think so.
Question is whats better- t or a 4 letter won?
Im coming round to actually using T because UNKQ isnt that bad....and more options
I'm good with waiting for D1 and IBD on this. There might be other clues we haven't thought of.
Our clues will bink
Wheres your head at re keeping a "t" or a "unkq"?
6 of one, half of the other
With only one card left next round I prefer unkq bc more likely we can give enough varied clues for them to deduce the answer
One letter severely limits that ability even if it’s a better letter in a vacuum
(In before word is tornado and we can’t clue twister)
K3 is the bink
Ah nm, let’s keep the big card and go with T4
Which is also a bink
trix
So it’s kids, silly or rabbit
Could be cereal too
Was the k3 supposed to be kid?
It’s 100% cereal
I was just joking around
K7/k9 is Kellogg/kellogg’s
K3 is kix
Is there a more tortured character in all media than the trix rabbit? Dude's just wanted some cereal for like 40 years
Easy peasy
Noice
Round 22:
Cards used: 25
Guessers: ervin/d1
The Board:
UNKQ
The target word:
I've pmed to ibd, zeus, bolt
NOTE: This is the final letter card in the game
u7 opposite could work
u8 another option but not a bink by itself
Yh u8 alone aint the one if its our same one
Yeah may just be confirmer
But I think u7 opposite can get it done
Hopefully others have some bangers
