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.

I would be surprised if f5 missed; I would get it and it’s pretty known so not a shadowfax
But I am intrigued by Ervin’s grand slam f8 so fine to go that path; can always do my less known c4 clue if f8 goes wrong
Yh do it erv
wait, earlier you said f8 does nothing on its own but could help
then you said f8 is a slam dunk
those are 2 different f8s and your f8 is a slam dunk on its own? I want to make sure this is a one-shot banger otherwise we can just do the f5 that should get it 90% of the time
Yea this is a different f8, one was like f4 which was just in the domain but absolutely nothing on its own
Other f8 you've only heard with our word
ok then fire your good f8
furrowed
Brow seems like it’d be a weird word on the list. But maybe eyebrow would be on there.
Yeah, and if it was just brow then eye would've been mentioned.
But f4 being face and other f8 being forehead makes a lot of sense, and I've never heard furrowed be used in any other context before.
I'm good to bold eyebrow if you have nothing else to add.
Haha, I forgot that E was on an outside card. It’s gotta be
eyebrow booger
Yeah Frida (Kahlo) is prolly best known person for eyebrows followed by Cara (Delvigne)
Great clue
Haha, I forgot Cara’s name and thought it was Clair
Yeah furrowed was a certified banger
Round 11:
Cards used: 14
Guessers: d1/zeus
The Board:
C | RG | C | DL | UNKQ | B | S
The target word:
I've pmed to bolt, ibd, ervin
lots of ways to go here
c9 seems most obvious
s7 good also
can throw a dart here
Yeah, I’d say c9 with g4 confirmer makes the most sense to me out of the gate.
Yea agreed, this should be an easy one
Bolt?
Sorry, been offline a few days.
I like S11 with a G4 confirmer. S9 and C7 are also good confirmers.
Let’s just move it along
Cristiano
Ronaldo
So football player?
Even though
Goal > goalie is confusingso its probably soccer? Or just football?
Strike
Seems straightforward enough
soccer player
