Staff seems good
Log seems ok

It’s workforce not job force so avoiding force is prolly why job over work, unless some other reason

Mail is good
Thieves do jobs, which could also be why job over work


Africa - Doubt it
Bear - Nothing obvious
China - Lotta jobs outsourced to China
Fall - I don't think so
Force - You made the workforce argument. This would be a last ditch word for me
Forest - Ranger?
Green - n-1
Leprechaun - No
Line - Lineman is a job
Log - Loggers
Mail - Post office
Opera - the opera is a job
Penguin - Probably not
Staff - Yes
Tail - No?
Thief - Probably
Tooth - No?

Green
Staff
Thief

Mail
Log
Line
Forest
Force

IMO


yeah I want to go over it again and us pick all 6 before we bold anything, but our top 5 seems pretty secure:

green
staff
thief
mail
log

after that it gets tougher and we need to do cross-referencing, etc with the options and then pick one


N-1 instead of unlimited so not China

Line is 2nd on their list for Transatlantic so nah

Force is decent; work hits it harder but he has to go job over work to get thief so lack of work doesn’t eliminate force, and I think the job force is a thing also anyway


I can agree with this list, I think you convinced me on force.

green
staff
thief
mail
log
force
Pass

Forest
Line


Worried we are missing something but I don’t have anything better so guess we can fire away


I think if it were something like forest over force he woulda done jobs

Thieves do jobs so still hits and jobs removes force and picks up forest jobs

Log is red. Ill update n clue later just out


Lol


bump


faun - unlimited


so africa and line should be good with unlimited

leprechaun and tail?


Hmmm I think I remember something about them being forest dwellers or something along those lines from playing FF or some other fantasy world game

I'd personally clue a more obvious mythical creature for Leprechaun+Tail


Although i've just thought Leprechaun+Forest would just be green - unlimited maybe, there's no blockers on the remaining list


yeah i'm not sure which creature i'd clue for leprechaun/tail, but i don't think faun is unreasonable. another option might bring bear or force or something into play

green definitely much better clue for leprechaun/forest. and i think most of these creatures are forest dwellers anyway


Yeah fair

Nice effort, Nich and Zurvan. Tough one to land in two and you almost got there.

gg all


good job, so close

if we hadn't gone log they prolly don't win this turn; if we had honed in on opera instead of log we woulda won in 2...so yeah, pretty close


GG all!


Damn, tough one. Great game
