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.

And yeah, a5 is the perfect second clue, but lots of ways they could go with it to make it dangerous for a one shot (not that anything isn’t)
I like a9
Ibd likes a6
Bolt likes a5
Nich likes a14
Awesome!
As a guesser I'm voting for a14 :p
I’m good with any
Let’s just move on so we can get to next game
This is last card anyway
agent
Secret agent, government agent, insurance agent
It's italicized w a twist but I dunno what that means
Could be something like bond shaken not stirred
He was having formatting issues
It’s just the bolded clue like normal
Ok so not Bond/martini 😃
Agent is law enforcement right?
Its not going to a mixing agent or reall estate agent is it?
Talent?
How many a14s are there lol
Adamantium is 10 letters so not that
Figuring out a14 would be cool
Ah **** this is the last letter
Is this it?
Yeah no more clues
Just take best guess and we’ll move on to next game
It’s gettable but nobody will blame you for not getting it with one clue
If we don't get it we should still be guessers next game imo(unless all order is reranded), team needs some kind of a sweat during the game and who better than the struggle squad of me and DZ
Archaeologist? That's 13
I'm trying to think of something that's 14 letters
Bump
Don’t worry about getting it
Just make a guess and we’ll go on to new game where there is more than 1 card
1 card gets only happen when there is slam dunk word like for Sudoku or when we can also hint at other cards which gives guessers enough info
wet fart
Yea whatever let's get it moving along
Movie Star
Dang it lol
I made up my mind that it was super difficult, I love me some spy movies so secret agent is always the first thing I think of
My A6 was arcane
