Seems pretty optimal all round and just one of those things this game.

Good clues IBD and clever strat reusing zap

I'd be interested to see why any of the red team thought zap = spine. AFAIK eb is the only one who sees that connection.

Who's up next?

zap = spine in the context of the game, because eb mentioned it and it was the makeup word. It was a semi-trolly clue from Nich, but also a brilliant clue because in the context of the game, literally the only word on the board that hit zap was spine.

Because red’s list was good, Nich needed to clue unlimited but also make sure to clue spine and only spine. Zap was the perfect way to do that.

I’m interested to know if it wouldn’t have been as obvious to the reds if Nich had to submit his own clue for spine. I assume there would’ve at least been some more discussion on what he was after.

PC v eb

Yeah I was stressing over vertebra vs backbone vs Tap vs epidural, etc until zap was put as backup

There were two animals (bear and squirrel) so I was hopeful they’d think the clue was just spine + 2 makeups but wasn’t a sure thing

I'm playing poker all day so i'll rand board tomorrow unless eb does it

Iron (cross) military decoration given out by thr Germans in WW2

Enigma Code was a whole WW2 thing

Germans got Beat

Lots of Ships used in WW2

Krystalnacht is probably pushing things for both Crystal and Glass but it's something to consider.

I think Ship is the most obvious 4th word and even if it's not the one you'd hope it would be neutral at least and we could get a decent backup list going.

Oh haha, I swear that was a 2-clue when I first saw it.

You probably saw WW4 - 2

A decent bit of WW2 was fought in Africa.

I’m okay with

Battle

I’d probably go with this as the list, but I’m fine with beat/code/iron being in any order. Africa can hang out on the top of the list in case any of the top four aren’t ours. If they are, we can drop it off.

I'm fine putting Africa up top but I think it would be really weird for 3 places to be in there.
