Anyone (preferably who hasn't played in ages/ever and sucks at it like myself) fancy a game of Codenames?

Or regulars if

I sent this clue to myself in DM, so my day is going great so far

Cenozoic - unlimited


Fun game. I'm gonna have to rely on nich knowing what this is again.


it sounds like an era so time maybe some of the animals


its also capitalised so maybe im completely wrong


it's an era, I think after the dinosaurs and most likely what we are currently in

scale+time+kangaroo/dog/mouse (since post-dinosaurs, so when mammals started populating the earth)

maybe date also

scale/time/date all related to any era

cenozoic over the better known like Jurassic is likely due to one or more of those 3 animals, unless you see some other reason


so 6 options + unlimited clue means either next 2 on list or 2nd on list is ours

so comic+embassy or just embassy

surprised that we got Star Trek clue when both moon and saturn weren't ours, but maybe he thought we'd think harder that they were for god and discount them more?


So we need 5

I think at least 1 of those animals need to be ours and something related to time like well... time

I dont know how to choose which animals to guess unless its dog/mouse/kangaroo/time/embassy


standard unlimited clue would have us do next 2 on list to finish up Worf so we'd need 3 for the new clue

the cleanest/easiest path is simply date/scale/time + 2 makeups

then we don't have to take 1/3 guess at dog/kangaroo/mouse

but then again, why not Jurassic or another better known period for date/scale/time? I get not Jurassic because then we go off on Jurassic Park tangent, but Cretaceous etc. would have worked


bump


scale seems good because he went with a large epic, so massive in scale

seems like date/time can be gotten lots of ways

date + animals would be lovebird

scale + animals would probably be elephant or hippo or mammoth or dino or some massive animal

time + animals would be cuckoo for the clock + animal connection

date/time/scale by itself could just be era, though, or eons, or other stuff

which means, sigh, we probably have to go with at least one animals, which is a crapshoot

and it's not 3 animals + 1 of date/scale/time which means it's 2 of those and then 1 or 2 animals


I'm lower on date out of the three time words I think

I think my order of animals is mouse>dog>kangaroo, though who knows i could be completely wrong.

given the unlimited clue i do think we guess both of our list


Mouse is the one I won’t go for

I believe there were mice in the Dino days

Kangaroo seems newest but maybe dogs are as wolves came first


bump


comic
embassy
dog
time
scale

is where i'm at

obviously it could be mouse it could be kangaroo

I'm not liking date just because i like the other 2 time words better and it's not all 3

whether we should go with 2 animals + 1 time word or 1 animal + 2 time word is the question


It can’t be mouse if they were around in Dino days

Dog or kangaroo seems like 50/50

My issue with dumping date is that you date things like fossils, etc. to an era

I dunno


I guess I’m good with

Cenozoic is the era of mammals. I had to gamble that you knew that, or would figure it out - kinda like donk did

I dont know how to choose which animals to guess unless its dog/mouse/kangaroo/time/embassy

Couldn't go cuckoo because chick blocks that.
Couldn't for the life of me think of a 5 clue that gets 3 animals + time + embassy, so I had to hope that you would skip comic on the list

I had to push with the Worf clue because red did so well with their initial list - again, hoping that you'd make some Star Trek specific connections there, rather than generic space ones like Saturn and Moon


what is the 4th Worf word? soldier, ship, embassy, ?

my bad for not paying attention to their first turn. Saturn is a Roman God and I would have realized it can't be ours if I had noticed. Then maybe we go at it a bit differently, though I think I still go moon to get A space connection.

3 mammals + time makes sense for Cenozoic and then we aren't picking among animals, so that would have been a better line to take; and yeah, chick definitely blocks cuckoo
