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

Yeah, I think you got it. I agree with your backup list, it's just annoying to recreate on my phone

Then hope our earlier backups were good?


I guess so. Should we hold off on bolding car since there’s limited incentive to clear it, or wanna go for the autopass?


I mean, we should probably assume something isn’t right because we didn’t get an unlimited clue. And I’d guess it’s worse than just a neutral being in the mix otherwise it’d make sense for xander to get us to clear what we can.


eb?


Sorry. Should we do this or leave car at the top?

The more I think about it, I kinda want to try guessing car here. I think the info helps us more than it has the potential to harm.

Also police could be a location word.


I wouldn’t move car. Rearranging the list is one of my biggest pet peeves as a spymaster.

I’m fine with us guessing it to clear it.

wat


That's too many new coloured in words


reform - 0


our list was:

cast
police
change
snow
wake

change is def reform
prolly police

change+police = reform

some connection to cast maybe?

would prolly go cast/snow/wake but maybe it's just snow/wake?


Oh, this is me


Cast, snow, wake means we got 5 right on a 3 clue. Not impossible, but seems unlikely


That said, I don't see good alternatives to guess, so maybe we just go with it?


Reasons to go 0 clue here:

1. Our top word, cast, is assassin, so don’t wanna do normal clue and have us guess this as makeup…usually would make sure the clue hits cast hard if this were the case, which reform doesn’t

2. We have multiple words on our list that are ours, so 0 clue from the ones that aren’t ours


Since doesn’t hit cast hard I think it’s scenario 2 so we can guess those 3 words


Cast
Snow
Wake
Pass
