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.

Is string beans something? B5 could be baked and s3 could be soy(soy beans are a thing right?)
I like em but am not exactly the expert on beans
"Roll that beautiful bean footage"
String beans are a thing, indeed.
You think beans could be worth a try? I can't figure out all of the words but some of them actually make sense to me
Let's go for it.
Beans
0%
Probably should go with one of c5/6
I guess you guys had a b5 that you liked, so go for that if you want. I don’t know it for some reason.
Beans was a good guess tho given the clues you put to it
C5/c6 like s3 is prolly better than b5 at this point but I think either gets them there
And c6 > c5
Still not sure if b5 is better than it or not; prolly base it on what card we wanna keep
Don't think it makes a difference.
clouds
I guess that kite>balloon but I'm still not getting the confirmers.
Do you sew a kite or something?
Would be good to figure out a confirmer or 2 so we nail this, I was actually not sure what string clouds would be, the words you say make sense as I'm sure this isn't cumulonimbus or something
Wouldn't b6 bounce or b7 ballast be considered for balloon?
Let's just go kite and get another 0% and a 3rd clue.
I wouldn't really think bounce but I might think something like clowns or circus
But yea idk let's keep it goin I suppose
Kite
Boom theres the kiteamite
S3 was sky. S4s were soar/sail.
Whew haha, was feeling unsure there
I felt really good about beans lol
good job; beans and kite were two good guesses
this may not be easy
s6 obviously comes to mind but not by itself
b5 is related as well
s6 to the right of b5 is a pretty good combo clue; I think they can deduce that it's not the other option for that combo
s6 = string
b5 = beach
string to the right of beach = beach string
beach string -> bikini or kite
we didn't do swimwear, so bikini is out and it's kite
yeah sky confirmer like cloud/clouds is nice
the soy/baked/string beans combo pretty good tho, which is always the danger
