Regular Run of the Mill NO LIST Codenames!

That would leave us with 1 word. We are better off passing before fork unless we can find another portal or disinfectant word imo.

Leaving us with one word would be good no? It's no list, so the edge case logic of one word left doesn't apply.

Technically yeah, but it's not like it isn't totally obvious what our next word would be. We don't even have any other options.

Unless we think it's a meaningful risk of being the other side's word, I think guessing it > not. Just stick it last.

There's really no upside to guessing it tho. It should be ours 90%+ of the time, but if it does happen to be blue, then we just helped them out a ton for no reason.

Alright.

So, log is out. Maybe also pad.

I guess swamp and paddle for Amazon?

Could get on board with kiss for preening. And maybe taste because of the mouth connection (birds preen with their beaks)?

Don’t love it, someone come in and save the day

Kiss might be out with journal? You leave kisses in a joirnal maaaaybe

Is a food journal a thing so taste out?

But yh its probs

Swamp
Paddle
Big ben
Musketeer
Polo

Lolz

Probably not

kiss is still in

you'd say diary for log/pad/kiss

journal is just log/pad

we got 2 four clues so all our words are for those 2 clues

amazon:
computer
shop
paddle
swamp

preening:
groom
hawk
kiss
?

so:
swamp
paddle
kiss
?

gets us to bottles; just gotta figure out the final preening word

Big Ben - no
Fork - the seagull in Little Mermaid uses a fork to preen, but that's not the connection
Kiss - yes, preening
Log - no, journal
Musketeer - they obviously spend time on their looks, with matching outfits etc, but nah
Pad - no, journal
Paddle - yes, amazon
Polo - horses preen? lots of grooming of the horses? polo shirts to look nicer than tshirts? meh
Swamp - yes, amazon
Taste - maybe; animals use their mouths to preen
Wheel - nah

I kinda think taste is the last preening word, even though I don't love it

Nice! Great stuff, insanity. Good teamwork, Nich & DZ

Good game

Yaaarg good job blues and great clue by insanity at the end

We were basically right there, last turn just had so many blockers

Necronomicon went totally well - I generally don't like to quiz my team so wasn't expecting anyone to know Lovecraft(I didn't) or anything too specific - was going for book, comic, magician like you got and cross for resurrecting/witchcraft type stuff

You mentioned cycle and after they got shop and computer out of the way our last 2 mentioned words were that and cross so I went unlimited to scoop those. I was considering clueing "turd" to get spray and log but they had log next on their list so I went disinfectant for spray, fork, and maybe a little equity for log

Final turn you had cross, cycle, and fork lined up so unlimited for those. As easy as it seems I was having a lot of trouble figuring something out to combine tunnel + log. Everything I could think of like beaver, opening, curved etc. hit something else on the board pretty hard so I ended up going with portal as that at least hit nothing else and maybe had a chance + disinfectant equity

I didn't actually think Blue had a realistic chance to win anyway, thought wet - 4 could be a good try for them but it wouldn't get taste. Didn't consider the 0 clue and it worked perfectly for them to bullseye their remaining 4

GG all

Tunnel + Log = Shaft?

Not a bad idea, kinda hits wheel tho

I think cylinder or hollow gets tunnel+log, but we would still need to get cross. We had not mentioned that word at that point had we?
