Not odd. I'm blue.

Will have to take a break for a few weeks whilst i'm in Vegas

Don't leave until Monday but considering how long these games are taking that will probably still be turn 1 :p

Okay, so what are we doing here

Find a spare?
Take a break?
2 vs 3 re randed each time?

I honestly don't mind which. I'll put a request for a spare in thr PUB and see what comes of it.

I think Zurvan is cluing here? Does he have the list?

I do not have the coloured list. Happy to yolo a clue without it, but not sure how fun that'll be

Eye, can you pm zurvan the list? He’ll be red spymaster this game

eb, please send this man a board

Ok, I sent it.

animal - 4

7 animals on the board

He also clued animal not animals so could be an animal related word that isn’t an animal

4 animals are birds so not all 4 of them:
Turkey
Kiwi
Chick
Duck

The other 3 mammals:
Cat
Calf
Buck

Humans eat 6 of them so not all 4 are in these:
Turkey
Kiwi
Chick
Calf
Buck
Duck

So cat is almost certainly ours

Hunted:
Buck
Turkey
Duck

Young:
Calf
Chick

If it’s all 3 mammals + chick then he does any young mammal like puppy and we get the 3 mammals and the young chick

so what do you want to do?

something like

cat
duck
turkey
buck
pass

chick
calf
kiwi

Cat duck turkey are safest as clearly animals he wouldn’t overlook

Buck and kiwi he could overlook; calf and chick he prolly doesn’t overlook; calf being less likely to overlook than chick

The bad ones should be neutral or maybe one is theirs but worth it to get 4

In order of can’t overlook it and would think we would guess for animal in a vacuum:

Cat
Duck
Turkey
Calf
Pass

Chick
Buck
Kiwi

That’s 2 birds/2 mammals, 3 meats to eat/1 not, 1 young/3 adult so none of the more specific animal words work for those so seems safe

Then we just clean up later

Cat/duck/turkey/buck that you propose is all 3 game animals + cat so jaguar - 4 would get cat + 3 hunted animals so I don’t think it can be exactly those 4

Replacing buck with calf solves that issue

Cat
Duck
Turkey
Calf
Pass

Chick
Buck
Kiwi

Cat

bit - 0

animal - 4

Ambulance
Buck
Calf
Chick
Death
Drill
Duck
Dwarf
Fall
Hollywood
India
Kiwi
Life
Log
Pin
Pistol
Pound
Slip
Sock
Stadium
Staff
Star
Turkey
Vacuum

Cat

So, not drill

I guess stuff like ambulance and death can also be out for now. Hollywood and star can also fit a little (bits, bit parts, etc).

Something like punch would get drill/punch/sock, so maybe we go with those two first. And then probably pass. I don’t really see anything else, so eb probably just needed to clear drill as early as possible so we can sail smoothly moving forward.

xander?

Sorry bud, have been away from the Internet aside from random 5 minutes here and there.

Ike you, I'm assuming drill will likely be a bad word for us to the point where we need to be clued away from it now. A future clue will likely clear that up.

Guessing on a first turn though we need to find an antonym.

Something that isn't a bit like a stadium? The rules state we have to guess something right?

I don’t agree we need to guess an antonym. He didn’t clue bit so we’d bold the opposite, he clued bit so we wouldn’t bold drill. Now that we know drill isn’t ours, there are other words on the board that could be combined with drill in a different clue. I think we can safely guess those words. If drill/punch/sock were all bad, he would’ve clued something other than drill.
