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.
link to official rules:https://captain.games/wp-content/themes/...
Lingerie - no Victoria/victoria’s
Bra - no cup
Panties - maybe
Pantyhose - maybe
Dress - no cocktail
Skirt - maybe
Gonna need to noodle on this
Jewelry - c7 costume but no clasp/watch/opal
V clue could be vintage and then there was related classic which works for dress and jewelry among maybe others
Would have liked to see clothes/clothing clues to confirm the womenswear is clothing and not jewelry or hats or something else
w7 came to mind, less so w5, but may only work as confirmers
w7 could be ok tho w nich guessing could to have that in the mix
c4 also really strong, just maybe not so much from guessers' side as it is from our side
As confirmers both huge
V7, related C6 and V9.
C7 confirmer for those.
I’m really digging w10, and I think they can this.
W7 - IBD says it's like womanswear
W5 - IBD says it's like womanswear
C4 - huge confirmer
W10 - womenswear
V7 -
C6 - related to V7
V9 - related to V7
C7 - confirmer for V7/C6/V9
I'll come back to this later, just posting this incase it helps
Leaning toward dress even without cocktail
w5/w7 is women/women’s
So we have womenswear and a handful of famous designers like what women on red carpet would wear (or famous brides for wedding dress)
W7 wedding maybe?
Yeah I like the Versace/Chanel/Valentino route for dress
Wedding a better w7 but not related to w5/w10
But yeah, liking dress even more
No C5 cross or I7 impress though
But yeah still happy to go with dress can't really think of anything else
Reading back over I think Ervin’s w7 was wedding as he didn’t say w5/w7
Ibd just had womenswear on the mind so he later combined w7/w5
Not sure if his c4 was Coco or something else…prolly something else
Yeah lots of options for dress not mentioned
Just clothes, women, designers and wedding
But lack of certain words isn’t a killer as we’ve seen this lots of times where clues that seem obvious weren’t mentioned
I’m good with dress if you are
Yeah good point
Dress
Kapow
Well done!
Wahey, nice!
Whoo nice job!! w7 was indeed wedding, w5 was just white(wouldn't clue really)
c4 was code if you thought if it would definitely confirm
Ah, dress code
Round 21
Cards used: 21
Guessers: pogcrazy/ervin
The Board:
C | IH | T | WF | UNKQ
The target word:
I've pmed it to d1iabol1cal, ibedrummin, doctor zeus, bolt2112
Note: These are the last 5 cards in the game
c6 obv
n5 is a good confirmer, or maybe a good clue with c6 confirmer. Can’t decide which is the better avenue.
n5 opens up too many left turns, so probably better to do c6 with n5 confirmer
C10 seems like a slam dunk
C5 confirmer for any direction we go with this, of course
f5 another duh confirmer
C9 should get this done in about 5 seconds.
