Codenames for Suckers

alright it seems our list was off

Fish
Face
Card
Pool

is what's left of our list with 5 left to go for cake

goggles - 0 seems to suggest both face and pool are not ours too

leaving fish and card and we have to figure out 3 more.

though we can only guess 1 now, I think fish is an omegalock.

fish
card

drop???
tie?
is it a term in the game bridge?

im out of ideas.

Just as a rules clarification, you may guess as many as you would like on zero clues. It's just like unlimited; your turn ends when you either pass or hit a non-blue word.

for sure:
fish
card

that's 4 so need 3 more

block of cake
drop cake

not sure what else

but we can also just guess those 4 and then pass with 2 words left and one word at top of list...best chance for next round

we can't win here anyway

in spades you can have a cake nil, meaning it's super easy, doesn't need any covering to make

maybe you can have a cake slam in bridge? dunno

fish
card
drop
block
pass

tie
bridge

?

Ok lets guess those 4

Fish
Card
Drop
Block
Pass

Tie
Bridge

electricity - 4
cake - 7
museum - 4
goggles - 0

Bridge
Casino
Cloak
Face
Kangaroo
Olympus
Parachute
Pool
Tie
Washer
Web
Wind

Charge
Light
Dinosaur
Staff

Chocolate
Shop
Fish
Card
Drop
Block

Switch
Kid
School

resort - 4

Wind is still ours.

Casino and pool.

What else?

electricity - 4
Charge
Light
Wind
????

museum - 4
Dinosaur
Staff
Casino
????

resort - 4
Casino
Pool
????
????

Two left, and they require overlap with the previous clues.

Wind
Bridge
Olympus
Cloak were our next words.
If the list was all correct then an unlimited clue gets us the answers.

I want to throw out Olympus and Cloak to begin with.

I also think there's at least one really tenuous connection with resort because it's a do or die turn I thin, so any overlaps should be more strongly connected to electricity and museum

Wind
Pool
Casino

Are slam dunks

I like Bridge for an electricity and resort overlap.

Then I think Parachute for a resort and museum overlap. I could imagine being able to parachute being an activity available at a resort and a parachute being part of a War display in a museum.

electricity - 4
Charge
Light
Wind
Bridge

museum - 4
Dinosaur
Staff
Casino
Parachute

resort - 4
Casino
Pool
Bridge
Parachute

My main problem with guessing those is that I think museum is weaker than resort but museum was guessed first

I’m fine with

Wind
Pool
Casino
Bridge

and if they’re all correct, we can agonize over the final one. I’m not close to being convinced on parachute.

Wind
Pool
Casino
Bridge

Bridge is their 7th word. I think we can concede.

Electricity - Charge/Light/Wind/Casino

I expected the Switch neutral guess, but I was quite surprised to see Casino not even mentioned as a possibility. I assume all those lights must use a ****ton of electricity.

Museum - Staff/Dinosaur/Casino/Olympus

If there's a turn I want back, it's this one. Should have just said ancient for two. We don't get as many words, but it takes the two toughies of Dinosaur and Olympus off the board.

Resort was just a long shot. Didn't really expect Olympus to work here, but I had to try something. I think it would have worked if we had Casino/Staff/Pool/Parachute remaining.

Bad planning on my part leaving a tough word like Olympus there. That said, blue did very well with their initial 7 clue that I didn't think was going to work at all.

Tough one, gg

the reason for leaving 2 on the list:

if tie is ours, you do 1-clue for other word and we pick up tie with n-1
if tie and bridge are both ours, you do cake-unlimited to let us know to pick those up
if bridge is ours and tie isn't, you clue the last word - unlimited and we know first word isn't ours (no n-1) and both aren't (not cake-unlimited and you clue for different word) so therefore only reason you'd clue unlimited instead of 2 clue is because 2nd word on list is ours

GG all! Our last word was Cloak for the other meaning of cake which might be a British thing lol

You eat cloaks in the UK?

Cloth or velvet?

Donk v xander

lol 😃 if you're covered in something you're 'caked' in it and a cloak is a type of cover

ah, we say 'caked in mud' or similar here; 'cloaked in darkness' but haven't heard 'caked in darkness' or 'cloaked in mud'

caked means covered physically with some substance like mud or dirt
cloaked is more of a stealth thing (unless it's an actual cloak, which is clothing)
