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.

Oh clockwork is capitalized so yeah must be Orange
Don't really know my types of oranges unfortunately, blood is one
Valencia and jaffa maybe?
Anyway you can go ahead and bold AE
Yea gotta be that let's go
Orange
Good job and great clue d1
clementine was my c10, which y’all did know
c5 was color
c6 that wasn’t citrus was cuties; I assume y’all know what those are? Orange is only option for that clue if you know them
F5 fruit again
Other c9 like n4 Nemo was clownfish, which I didn’t think was d1’s, but only c9 I could think of
Great clue! I def didn't know some of the confirmers but knowing clockwork orange and you capitalized it for us made it an absolute slam dunk
Round 22
Cards used: 22
Guessers: ervin/ibd
The Board:
IH | T | WF | UNKQ
The target word:
I've pmed it to d1iabol1cal, pogcrazy94, doctor zeus, bolt2112
Note: These are the last 4 cards in the game
h4/h5 is an option
n6 is another
I forgot, are we allowed to mention T and WF clues now there are less cards left?
N6 first thing that came to mind
yeah you can always mention 1 word in on either side for clues, so now all 4 cards can be mentioned since everything is within 1 card of a side
can only actually clue from the sides, of course
T7 and T8 are good confirmers
N6 I like but ih we probably wanna ditch?
H5 is ok
n6 prolly gets there and they can prolly deduce h4/h5 easier than deducing n6 from h4/h5 clue?
I think we try to work out a few more confirmers and then we clue n6.
H11 could be a decent confirmer. And so is F6.
H9 also good going a completely different route
W7 for the same route, related to H9
Yeah, n6.
nutmeg
T8 tarragon
But no t5 thyme
Not sure what a t7 would be
h4 heat also works along with herb
I'm thinking it's another word than spice but not sure what yet
I would think h3 - hot would get mentioned, there would be a bunch of spicy foods like kimchi and whatever mentioned
I haven't thought of anything better yet tho
Hot gets us spicy, which is not the same word as spice.
Kimchi also gets us spicy
Looking again to see if ginger fits that's a solid idea too
