Codenames League - Match Thread B

November (t)rain?

Australia is the last thing I said, so I don't think we get a 3 here if it's that.

I don't think we missed any Novembers and we still have no clue what Corina actually is.

I think we have to go ruler/train/cycle.

I'm good to bold that unless you have any last-minute suggestions.

ruler
Train
Cycle

Great job

Distance a really good clue

I thought he wouldn’t be able to get all 3 together so ensured my clue didn’t hit theirs so we’d get another turn

We almost had it, but needed y’all to know narcotics are pain killers so spine for epidurals, but it didn’t make the list…that’s why I didn’t just go drug(s) for agent trip needle and did the more nuanced narcotics

Had to hit trip and spine and agent and needle first turn to have a shot at getting in 2, as spine tough to combine with other words

Good try and great guessing; just couldn’t quite get there and red somehow pulled Corina out so got it in 3

So what's a corina

Best hope to start game was you went Australia assassin for Corina as it sounds like it could be a name used to get you to go Australia

Can't believe we pulled that out. GG all.

Doing a quick internet search and I still have no idea what Corina is referring to.

An early 90s minor r'n'b star is the best I have

Just listened to her biggest hit, and if that was the intention, that is a deep cut, even for someone like me who's pretty good at music.

haha great job team! and Corina worked out just fine even though no one new what it was...

Kind of tunneled into a bad idea with that clue - the board was a little tough and I wanted to try to combine something like Chick/Superhero/Millionaire/Ruler and maybe Current would be cool - I thought of the current Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado - seems pretty super, you apparently get paid a million bucks for winning it but could be rich sounding anyway, it is a female, and maybe some hope for Ruler too - but then I saw Agent/Box/Field/Fence were theirs and Manny Machado is an All-Star baseball player

prudent thing would be to think of a different clue but not me! nah, let's fully tunnel on the Nobel winner and give her middle name so they won't guess the baseball player!

so that wasn't ideal on my part but didn't turn out too bad with you getting Chick and mentioning Superhero + Millionaire despite having no idea, and after the November clue we were about where I wanted to be anyway with tough-to-link stuff like Turkey out of the way. And then the last clue went perfectly!!! great job!!

gg all
