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 😃
I'm happy for us to bold it up now, if you want to come up with some order for back ups

I like beach and alien here but dont know if im over thinking
I'm open
my reason for tag:
* body tags, like in html
* tag, the game
* coroners tag a dead body
* dog tags that people in the military wear so you can identify their body if killed
then there is 'beach body' where people try to get in shape in the spring to have a better beach body
aliens have a body (presumably) and they abduct and probe bodies (presumably)
shoe, of course, you wear on your body
i'm ok with any order for those 4 I think

Feel free to move beach above tag if you want
Sorry about taking so long
I think I do prefer beach to tag but I'm always wrong and I don't feel super strongly either way so lets go with your list.

structure - 4
Skyscraper and pyramid
Will think about others in a bit
Skyscraper and pyramid had to have been for hospital as well. Not sure on the third. It’s not tag or tooth. And we should probably avoid anything mentioned by blue.
Alien - no
Beach - sand castles? Mentioned by blue, so staying away from it
Chocolate - can build structures out of chocolate
Drill - maybe hospital, not really structure; I guess military drills are a structured environment and there are structures to fire/emergency drills, etc. meh
Grace - nah
Ketchup - no
Mint - nope
Paper - could fit hospital, not sure about structure
Plane - maybe structure?
Post - shouldn’t be ours, but could fit both
Pumpkin - eh
Pyramid - yes
Satellite - nah
Shoe - not really, probably never guessing anyway
Skyscraper - yes
Strike - don’t see it
Tag - never guessing
Tooth - never guessing
Tough one
Must guess:
Skyscraper
Pyramid
Might guess:
Drill
Paper
Chocolate
Plane?
Never guess:
Tooth
Tag
Beach
Alien
Shoe
A satellite is a man made structure.
I think pyramid is the non hospital word and then the rest have to do double duty.
I kinda like drill too. Kinda fits both weakly which is what you'd expect with a clue with such a high number
For me it's
Skyscraper
Pyramid
Drill
Satellite
Plane
Why would pyramid be a non-hospital word when skyscraper is a hospital word? Both are buildings, like a hospital.
That's true. I guess we've still got a non hospital word to include which could be satellite or plane
It’s a virtual flip for me between plane and satellite. If forced, I’d go plane>satellite, but I don’t have any rationale as to why. In fact, I’m already shifting my thinking because planes have a body. I’m not even sure I’m sold on drill at this point.
We could also just go with the two slam dunks and pass. Blue only has one word so far and it’s the one we gifted them. It’s ultra-conservative, but an option.
Flying doctors exist. Do plane fits better with hospital than satellite does.
I'm leaning satellite for this reason. hospital 9 would be too tempting if there was ANY connection to the word.
I'm not a fan of being conservative personally
Major hospitals have satellite campuses, so that works for me. Satellites are man-made structures and there’s the tournament angle (blind/ante structure, pay-out structure, etc.).
I’m starting to cost up to satellite a bit more.
I'm at the point now where I think we've talked everything out. You bold up whatever you think is best.
