Codenames for Suckers
Anyone (preferably who hasn't played in ages/ever and sucks at it like myself) fancy a game of Codenames?
Or regulars if no-one new wants to play and you'll just have to hope i'm not on your team 😃
Oh, I missed that place was a 4 clue. You're right.
I think we gotta go with this:
Chocolate
Heart
Hollywood
China
Mexico

I'll let you bold them Nich if you agree
Those were my two
Tube would be backup but don’t really need backup this late in game
ice
Ghost
Bottles
Tube
yep
bottles (whatever that means)
One thing im confused on is how the blue team ruled out Tokyo? How did you know that it was the one geographic location that wasnt blue?
It was because of the way xander clued. If Tokyo was ours, he would’ve clued unlimited so we’d know to guess two for plane and then just run the list. Because he clued 2 instead of unlimited, it meant we could only bold the first word on our list before autopassing. That told us that he didn’t want us bolding the 2nd word on the list.
What was the full board?
Heart

1. Gg red and sorry blue guys
2. I have never heard of park place.
3. I did capital Place to try to lead you to the proper nouns. I'm sure a better word is there bur everything I could think of was at least ambiguous.
4. Capital P on plane was an autocorrect on my phone that I didn't spot until it was brought up in thread and then too late to edit.
5. Capital D for dietician was to try to lead you to the job title and then hopefully hospital.
The other words you went with/considered I would have had better pairings for:
Chocolate + disease = chocoholic (is that allowed, if not diabetes)
Chocolate + Heart = Kiss
Chocolate + Center = Nougat

I don’t think capitalizing the clue simply to lead us to proper nouns is legal. Any clue like place/location/geography would’ve been fine.
Nice job getting us off of Tokyo, the 2 clue worked well. Since it was neutral and wouldn’t hurt us and our turn was ending regardless, you could’ve clued unlimited just to clear it from our list. You were going to clue unlimited for the next turn anyway, so getting Tokyo out of the way with an unlimited clue is less risky than hoping we’ll connect the dots way we did.

Yeah, this is on us. Chocolate + heart = valentine all day every day.
Chocoholic wouldn’t be legal, but diabetes would’ve been a great clue for that combo.
It’s just bad luck that heart was red. Interested to know what Donk’s clue would’ve been to get the heart/ghost/ice combo, which seems tough.
