Codenames for Suckers
Anyone (preferably who hasn't played in ages/ever and sucks at it like myself) fancy a game of Codenames?
Or regulars if no-one new wants to play and you'll just have to hope i'm not on your team 😃
or reverse palm and washington if you want; I think those 2 are close
Palm is easily missed imo (Source: me, who didn't even consider it).
That said, Donk is not from the US, so Washington may not be as good as it normally would be?
I was thinking Palm Sunday was bigger in Europe than the US, but maybe not
the problem is snowman isn't really associated with any holiday so I think it's iffy any of the 3 we do
Okay, I'm sold on trying palm.

All stick out to me on first glance
I don’t think there’s a property called Washington on the monopoly board, but it’s been a while and I could be wrong.
In thr UK there's very different names for the squares. All UK centric.
Monopoly is definitely board and game but then the 3rd has to be really specific to monopoly.
Let's have a look...
Plot for plot of land on monopoly, but that's tenuous because we wouldn't normally call them that.
Pound for the currency of UK monopoly but again tenuous.
I can't see anything that relates to any of the UK properties or tokens.
There were some new tokens in recent years.
Perhaps cat was one of them but I'm not sure.
I'd be tempted to go for cat as number 3.
I'm just not seeing anything else stronger for the game monopoly or the other meaning of the word. And that's even not being sure that it's one of the new tokens...
So no thoughts on diamond? The diamond industry is controlled by one of the biggest monopolies.
I’m not okay with guessing cat unless you know that Monopoly has a cat piece.
I just dpnt associate diamonds with monopolies, but that's just me not knowing about them rather than any reason to think it's wrong.
Let's go with your suggestions and reassess later if we're wrong. Nothing else is jumping out.
I don’t love it, but I don’t see anything better and we’re not passing on the first clue. Sorry if it’s a bad guy.

Fun fact that Dragpn is the national animal of Wales and Unicorn is the national animal of Scotland.
Playing with IBD is a Welsh person and a Scot
So Britain - 2 woulda worked
I enjoyed spending a few days driving around Wales in 2007
