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 don't think deducing the p words from r4 is as easy as you guys are making out. That hits a crazy amount of things and could go in a bunch of different directions.
I would much rather go with g5/g6, which immediately gets in the domain and they should be able to deduce from there.
Pretty sure I know g5. Is g6 related?
yeah; I think r4 gets this more often than you do, but I'm completely fine with g4 instead
worst case we get it on p 130% of the time
I'm okay with G5, though I have more faith in R4 than you do.
Either way, P6 closes it for sure.
I have a S6 that actually is pretty brilliant.....
But you might all hate me
wait no its not good
Lmao
I think we just go g5. R4 has too many possibilities, and I could come up with pretty sweet p "confirmers" for totally different words without much thought at all.
ok do it
glove
Glove box
Boxing glove
Hand
Many kinds of gloves
Yeah loads of different types of gloves
Boxing
Goalkeeper
Driving
Oven
Latex
Surgical
Fingerless
also glove box/compartment
r4 ring
p5/p6 print(s)
Finger maybe?
r4 - ring
p5/p6 - print(s)
p7 - pointer? puppets?
g4 - ?
g5 related to g6 - glove/gloves
r6 - ?
Punch would work as p5 but not really p6
If it's prints could be more like fingerprints maybe
Ring finger, could be an idea
Oh you said it already
Idk how I'm such a champ sometimes of seemingly reading other comments and somehow not seeing what was said at all
Yea I like the finger idea, with pointer makes a lot of sense I think let's do that
Yeah I can't think of anything else, if it's an actual type of glove we're gonna need a confirmer imo
finger
👍
Wahey, i'm getting better at this
Woo hoo! Nice job PC!
well done
I was thinking of pinky/pinkie, not print(s), but print works well also
I was also thinking of grab for g4 but glove g5 was better
r4 was ring
Round 8:
Cards used: 7
Guessers: ervin/ibd
The Board:
S | JOVW | T | M | B | D | P
The target word:
I've pmed the word to d1iabol1cal, doctor zeus, bolt2112, pogcrazy94
d3 is epic confirmer
p7 could be a good start?
s4 actually really really good
