Just One - Inaugural game rules/signup/thread

In this thread we will play the hottest new social word game.

It’s a cooperative game but we can split it into teams to bring a little more competition to it.

To play the game, everyone but one person is given the secret word for that round. Then everyone submits a 1-word clue to that secret word. The mod removes any duplicate words and posts the unique clues and the one person then guesses the secret word.

If correct, we get a point; if wrong we lose a point; if isn’t sure of the word, they can pass on guessing and get 0 points for us

We do that for 13 words, rotating who is the guesser each time and try to get as close to 13 points as possible.

Now it may turn out that this is too easy for this group, in which case we can modify the rules to make it harder like we did with Codenames.

Example:
Secret Word: Turtle

Clues submitted:
Ninja
Tortoise
Slow
Shell
Tortoise
Ninja

Ninja and tortoise were duplicated so would be thrown out and the guesser would be given the clues:

Slow
Shell

They’d then either guess turtle (1 point) or snail (-1 point) or pass (0 points).

Post if you want to try it.
