3v3 Codenames

Hmm, I like ghost out of the gate, but now wondering if it’d be better with a capitalized clue like Hunters. I still think I like those three over pistol because bucks, whales, and ghosts are all things that are hunted.

Buck
Ghost
Whale

The 3 hunted words on here

Then others are makeup

A figure can be hunted
And some animals are hunted for their horn

For 2 more backups

Don’t think pistol makes top 4-5 since it’s hunted not hunt which seems designed specifically to rule out the gun

Sorry I have some thinking to do on this one...

Capital, figure, round, shop.

3 of those. Which to leave out I'm not sure

I think round would be at the top of my list. Not sure about Shop - you don't typically tip at a shop/when shopping (unless that's a British thing?).
You tip on a twitch Stream. Jam & Water are both things a waiter would bring to you to be tipped.
Telescopes tip up & down, but that's weak

And I don't feel good about it

LOL okay so we're way off the same wavelength.

Waiters bringing things like jam and water seems like a bit of a stretch. By that logic, orange should be in the mix.

Twitch stream is meh.

I don't like telescope at all.

You don't like capital? It's literally about money. Plus he said "California - 0" not "Sacramento - 0"

I don't immediately associate capital as money with tipping, but I suppose that's a connection. I can take that

Round
Capital

Why figure? Because tip is a number is a figure?

Probably game over if either of these are out.

Round
Capital

Yeah.

Though I'm not in love with figure. I think shop is in the mix. Jam and water possible. Don't see any world where it's both of those.
