Forgot to mention: in the schedule the team listed first is red for that round; they get 9 words and go first.

Round 1

Mexican Standoff thread - CIA v MI6
Cold War thread - KGB v MIB

6 games and 6 players per team. Should we require everyone be spymaster once. Would add some strategy

Thats the idea. I think once new people play a couple of games they will want to give it a go anyway.

We do need at least one more sign-up though. A few more would be ideal, as back-up/reserve spymasters so nobody goes twice until the final.

If somebody is forced to go twice in the first 6 games, I think a rand of available players is fairer than choosing your own spymaster.

In summary, yes, choosing your spymaster strategically may be beneficial and will not negatively affect your team.

Who is your husband? I had no idea!

I put you there to relieve Jenny of spying duties, if that's what she wants.

I will take you off that team now though for "game integrity"

You will be randed between the other 3

If we can get up to 8 per team for season two we can run it as a duplicate format

Each matchup has two games going on in separate threads. 4 teammates in one 4 in the other. In one game you are red the other blue. Same words and board. The winner is the team that either wins both or has the fewest pieces left in the game they lost.

Reduces the luck in the game and also really interesting to see different strategies in play simultaneously.
