SIDES - Inaugural Game Thread

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.

I'll do it


thanks; make sure to do a search in this thread for the word to ensure it hasn't been used before


Done 👍

G5 and E7 first ones that came to mind, P3 or P5 as confirmers


E4/G4 make a lock, but I'm not sure if we can get them to say the answer with just one of them.


I know what almost all of those are...this should be on the easy side imo, right now I'm thinking we do e4 and they should be able to deduce the g4, the g5 as another confirmer etc


E4 does seem best imo. I don't think it hits much else that isn't a shadowfax?


Yea there's a million shadowfaxes here and def think we shouldn't do any of that


I meant that e4 only hits the word or a shadowfax.


Oh yea that too, watch it incredibly hit something else lol


E4 and then g4 if needed. Agreed that g5 is a good confirmer.


Earl


lol had a feeling it was Earl

Earl of Sandwich
My Name is Earl
Or just Duke for similar title

Were the 3 things I had thought about

No r6 Reuben for sandwich
Doubtful you are going for a 20 year old sitcom with mid ratings

Duke or some other Royal title/word makes sense

G5 for Grant Hill?
No Redick or Elton Brand

No r3 for Red Baron, so isn’t baron
Doubt viscount is on the list

No r5 for Royal or r7 for royalty which seem like they’d come up early for a lot of the options

Gonna have to noodle on this

Done 👍

G5 and E7 first ones that came to mind, P3 or P5 as confirmers

Grace and Eugenie, Pea or Ponyo


No Rapunzel

And also why not just go Eugenie if it’s princess? Not like we’ve ever heard of any other Eugenies


Could it just be royal?


yes and that would explain why no r5 clue

guard and emperor

E4 and then g4 if needed. Agreed that g5 is a good confirmer.

earl then ?. guard is a good confirmer

not sure yet what g4 is


earl+girl gets you to princess and then g5 is grace and e7 eugenie; p3 pea and p5 ponyo so all words are accounted for; no royal or rapunzel clue and not just eugenie, though

earl + ? gets you to royal? g5 guard and e7 emperor work well, though

what are p3 and p5 for royal?

still not sold on either yet


G5 I'd go grace probably


I don't have any other ideas at this point

princess hits every clue and makes sense for earl + girl because earl gets us on royalty and girl for princess

and multiple mentioned g5 which could be Grace

could also go royal, but them not mentioning r5 or rapunzel doesn't eliminate princess and I think if it were royal they woulda first thought of prince/princess over earl
