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

Donk is red.


Donk


climbing - 5


Wall seems pretty good.

Agent
Bat
Berlin
Box - maybe?
Brush
Club - there are climbing clubs
Fan - there are climbing fans
Figure
Fish
Night
Oil
Olive
Parachute - jump out of planes that climbed to altitude, but also kind of the opposite of climbing
Part
Paste
Pirate
Point
Pool
Pupil
Saturn
Scale - synonym for climbing
Seal
Smuggler
Tick - they climb up your leg
Wall - 100%


I’d say

Wall
Scale

Club
Fan

Box/Tick/anything but parachute


Without looking at IBD's thoughts

Scale
Wall

Club

Smuggler
Pirate
Agent

Seem like the best ones for me.


Top 2 are definitely

Next one is likely and then I've got a group of people who might climb which I'm not in love with


Okay, so we both are good with the first three.

I’m fine with smuggler. Not as fine with pirate or agent.

Any thoughts on fan, box, or tick? I’m probably at:

Wall
Scale
Club
Tick
Smuggler
Pass

Fan
Box
Pirate


I don't like fan so much as climbing doesn't really have notorious fans, it's a fling thing rather than watching.

Unless you mean that the number of fans someone has is climbing.

Box is possible but weak for me.

I don't really like Tick, it's a bit much of a stretch.

But I don't feel strongly enough to want you to change your list. You can go for it, if my thoughts haven't really changed your mind on anything.


Your thoughts don't tell me what you would bold and in what order, so I’m not sure how my mind is supposed to be changed.

Two of the ones you don’t like are after pass. What would you put in place of tick, and how would you rearrange the makeups?

This is my order

Scale
Wall
Club
Smuggler
Pass

Pirate
Agent

If you want an extended backup list then:
Box
Fan
Tick


So you think we should only guess four this turn?

Also, how does agent fit? The clue is climbing, which is why I considered the three you don’t like. I’m not sure how agent fits climbing.

If it was climber, then maybe I’d get agent and would’ve put smuggler and pirate higher.


My bad, for a second I thought it was a 4 clue.

My only reason for liking agent is that it's generally a person and people climb. It's weak but I don't like the other ones much.

But I'm not dead set against yours either.

I'm happy to go with your list if you prefer it. I don't have strong feelings beyond the first 3.

Actually top was just alphabetical

Box
Olive
Oil

Night
Bat
Pupil

Those are the 6 in order I think


I would put Oil at the end of that list, but I actually don't think it matters too much - they all seem solid. Bold as you wish.

eyebooger, reveal please


Box is red, but that won't help the game move any faster.
