Will clue today, sorry
The Complete How to be a Gardener - 2
Not cloak
slug for sure
Stream prolly next
Brush could be it tho; clearing brush to make room for garden
But I thought Fievel Goes West was for brush gone but maybe mostly scorpion gone
Slug
life on our planet:
bear
lion
mammoth
kiwi
slug
final word
wtf didn't I have slug on my list for turn one? just completely missed it
don't think temple or princess is for life on planet, so final word hits both this and zelda
Zelda:
temple
princess
slug - seems like there are slugs, now that I think about it
final word
stream - garden stream is an immediate thought; lots of streams in Zelda, lots of twitch streamers of Zelda, and streams are definitely going to feature in a show about Life on our Planet; so hits all 3
mouth - not great for gardening or zelda; was on my list for turn 1 and you didn't do unlimited when it was 2nd on list, so another knock against it; just a 2nd-level connection to all 3 words, not direct connect to any
brush - brush like bushes and desert brush plants hits all 3 somewhat (better than mouth), but also Fievel Goes West seemed to remove it imo; not as good as stream for any, anyway
court - garden court, courtyard type of connection there; court for Zelda works, of course; not great for Life on Planet and generally think you would have hit harder if was ours since never on my radar
my bad on missing slug 2 times and forcing you to have to reclue it, but I think we still win with stream here
Nice work, Nich! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a board with seven animals listed between the team teams.
Pilot
Tag
Pitch
Mouse
Time
Cloak
Heart
Scorpion
Battery
Mammoth
Kiwi
Lion
Temple
Princess
Stream
Bear
Slug
Dwarf
Server
Mouth
Hook
Court
Star
Horn
Brush
GG all. Sorry I didn't get most of the clues.
Tough board with all those animals on there.
great clues
my bad earlier on, but was recoverable thanks to cluing and our list being 66% animals lol
Gg
The trouble with the curve was a baseball movie by and starring Clint Eastwood. It was more focused on pitching and hitting than the game as a whole.
I was hoping for battery, but kinda impossible if you don't know the movie. Good job for getting pitch from it.
The snail thing was meant to help you avoid slug and hopefully go for other animal words.
I can play the next game if you need someone.
D1iab to the rescue! Will rerand teams.

I guess I should've asked this before the game started, but how do you handle words like 'film' being on the board when they are gonna be almost impossible to avoid in this variant?
It's a good question and one we never really landed (it came up the first time we tried it). In general, we try to keep clues to where the words on the board have to do with the content of the clue itself. So like, if "Play" was on the board, clueing "Death of a Salesman" wouldn't be enough. You'd need a clue like "Waiting For Guffman." At least that's how I've been playing. Others can chime in, obv.

Agree with this.
Gotcha.
As for the clue, I've seen the movie once a long time ago and remember almost nothing about it. It's an ice hockey movie with Paul Newman is most of my knowledge of it, so my only contribution is generic hockey words.
Club
Play
Box
Center (is that a position?)
I imagine there's more to it than that tho.
Oh weird, how did your post get deleted? 2p2 is a joke right now.
