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.

If y’all were a bit older I’d be more confident you played Mario 3 a bunch and would know Tanooki Mario

I hate tapatalk
Every week or two it switches my account to a 17 year old 2 week account and I have to log out and back in every time; so annoying
M6 from m4 lock combo was masked animal
Animal/mammal were the others
Trash was my t5 but thief is better
Don’t beat yourself up on this; nobody expected y’all to think of raccoon from thief
This was a turn without a 1-clue option (other than likely shadowfax tanooki) and thief is too broad to help you deduce animal so says absolutely nothing about your skill that you were lost here
Is a raccoon a mammal? Not a rodent?
Ooo I thought Mario as a "fun clue" but tanooki is even funner and actually hits
Absolute shot in the dark if a guesser knows if or not
I played the **** out of SMB3 and have never (knowingly) heard the term Tanooki Mario before today.
Raccoons are most closely related to bears; mammals not rodents
People think of them as rodents prolly bc of the trash digging
I played the **** out of SMB3 and have never (knowingly) heard the term Tanooki Mario before today.
Yeah that’s why I didn’t push for it; seemed likely a shadowfax
People watched the **** out of LOTR without remembering Shadowfax’s name also
Also tanooki suit was rare; mostly we just got the leaf to fly
Rodents are mammals anyway lol
That’s true
Haven’t you ever had rat’s milk?
Round 10:
Cards used: 14
Guessers: pogcrazy/zeus
The Board:
M | C | B | UNKQ | DL | P | EF
The target word:
I've pmed to d1/ibd/ervin/bolt
m7 came to mind but maybe some variation like m8 or m9
m7/m8 pretty good
f4 and c10 are along the same lines
or there is the different domain m7 that I think is probably better; they can hopefully deduce f4/c10 once they narrow down options from m7
m7 clue I think we should go is like p6/p8, not the m7/m8 that is like m5/m10, f4, c10
I'm not loving the other domain. I think we should stick with the first. I know what f4 and c10 are but I don't see an ace there.
Maybe c11 is slightly better than the very similar c10?
ok nevermind
apparently m10 is one word so is legal so we can just do that and call it a day
Only m10 I know is like c10, and I know it can't be that.
I thought the m8 version of m7 was pretty killer, but if there's a better m10 then go for it. I think they should be able to figure this out fairly easily now anyway.
I’ll wait for IBD to chime in but yeah there is m10/c10 which are basically the same but my m10 is a banger so I’ll fire after IBD posts unless he has some other options to consider
Go for it, Nich

Like a ruler?
