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.

Good job
P5 was pound but patty is great
A10 is Antoinette; similar clue as Commodus
G6 was a shadowfax that you knew
A5 was Angel and p for pineapple but both suck without the second word
Pie/pan were indeed the 2 p3 confirmers
Lol I thought a5 was apple
Round 5:
Cards used: 5
Guessers: d1/zeus
The Board:
P | B | IH | A | JOVW | RG | A
The target word:
Sent to ervin/bolt/ibd
P6 might work with some confirmers
this is a toughie
r7 could work if they know what that is
this may take 3 from right to unlock the words that really would get it for them
not sure we get this in less than 3, but maybe we find a way
Oh boy yep toughie
p8 but can go a million ways, p5/p9 but also a million ways on its own, p9(from p7) but again I'm not sure how to hone in to what we need
Apparently there's an a4 word that has a lot to do with this but I didn't know that word until 30 seconds ago
I still like p6 with p7/9/12 to confirm
I think we have to go p6 but I worry they won’t get it until a middle card that has some great options
Also r7 is pretty good
I haven't thought of what p6 could be
a4 is like r7 nich, but may be too shadowfaxy a word
Let’s see what bolt comes in with
bump for bolt
ibd, you can go ahead and clue p6 in a bit unless bolt comes in and has different ideas to discuss
Nothing calls out to me. P6 is as good a start as any.
ok, go for it ibd
pulpit
Sermon was the first word to come to mind but seems like an odd word to have on the list. Will have to think about what the other clues could be.
bump for zeus
Oop
I think i like speaker. Will dp a reivew in 2 hrs
I think if it was speaker we woulda got amp as the clue, so I'm totally off that.
I'm kinda liking lecture some. That or speech are our best options imo. My worry is that they all seemed to know exactly what p6 was, so seems like it should be something more church-related. It's also possible they had a different p6 in mind tho (podium?)
Yh podium sounds more like it- and- politician might be closer to podium? Or winner?
Lets do lecture then- i think its a little bit better than speech?
I concur
lecture
I have a few in mind. A3, B5, and B10. They're all very similar. B5 is probably my favorite, but B10 might be better.
