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 diff
I mean, I’m pretty sure this isn’t helicopter, but still would be a nice rule clarification.
Yeah, I see nothing wrong with searching the thread
Oh, I forgot this game existed
All right, let’s get moving.
Helicopters are gyroscopic (but is out because it’s already been a target).
Tops are gyroscopic
Bicycle wheels are gyroscopic
Top also seems like a weird target word, but who knows
Wheel, propeller, washing machine, roller coaster
What other things spin
Merry go round
Not all things that spin are gyroscopic, but I get that they’re limited by the cards so maybe we can think of it as a “spin” clue.
Also, any thoughts on confirmers?
If we go with a broader spinning idea, a good w6 could be washer - which could lead us to dryer.
If it were dryer then w6 would’ve probably been framed as an opposite clue tho. Hmm
And there’s no way Nich mentions Top Golf but not Top Gun, so I’m fine with abandoning top.
Rotisserie...trying to think of other spinning things
I can't make anything work with confirmers, p3 stumping me - pen? Pie? Par? Pad? Pan?
Could be pan and something w cooking?
We’re not going to get this. I would rather just choose something gyroscopic and then let them clue w6.
I guess I’m on wheel or propeller.
Ok let's try wheel
p3 could potentially be pin so that would work
Good thinking on pin
Wheel
Not wheel, but maybe 50 percent? W6 should do it (I hope).
Someone do w6. Either they know it or they don't so confirmers don't matter.
Wham-O
G4 may have been golf after all!
C5 catch
Not sure of the others, but this is enough for frisbee.
I’m annoyed, because I was also thinking yo-yo and frisbee last round, but didn’t mention them. Had I put it in writing one of us may have connected golf.
Omg I play a lot of disc golf
Did not even occur to me
I guess we bold frisbee?
(Even though it's technically just a disc, and frisbee is a brand of disc)
Probably just frisbee since c7 compact would be mentioned for disc
Wham-O makes the Frisbee brand, which is why Nich called it a lock as long as we knew it. I would be very surprised if it was just generic disc. And yes, compact not being mentioned helps as well.
Frisbee
Nice, great clues. I’m still pissed that I didn’t bring up yo-yos and frisbees. We could’ve gotten this in one.
if i wasn't such an enthusiast the "frisbee golf" idea would have resonated way more, kinda hit on a bad luck spot where i'm so into it and technically it's "disc golf" i kinda graduated from my frisbee golf thinking ways
Beersbee like in the picture is an absolute blast and worth playing if anyone hasn't
Other words were rotating/gliding, which could obviously go in about a million different ways, so not good clues by themselves. Since gyros are essentially just spinning discs, I thought there was at least some chance you could get there if you thought about it the right way. You got pretty close too, damn!
Would you have got goaltimate? Huge shadowfax, but maybe you know it if you're an enthusiast.
