My clue was for romance languages. It occurred to me afterward that the word 'romance' derives from 'roman', which in turn derives from 'Rome', which is in Italy.

Yeah, Carl fell into something good there.

This is a byproduct of your (apparent) strategy of going generic. That will always attract a portion of the votes. With a bigger pool of players, it woudn't surprise me if such a strat would always get the most votes.

I don't know if the discussion phase adds anything. Or maybe it's the main thing, and the results don't matter.

Maybe the game needs to be played sans discussion, and we go with our first impression. We aren't likely to get our minds changed.

If the game were played against a background of knowing the other players' tendencies and their interaction styles, then a longer game may be better à la werewolf.

I think a turbo format would be better for this game, but would be much harder to pull off.

Remember when we tried to start up Codenames turbos recently? It failed miserably. Only when we started the slower games did we have any real sustained interest.

No need to go turbo, just no need to discuss (or discuss much). Give the clues, and vote once all the clues are out.

Might be worth trying. Think we should finish out the series the same way we've been doing things before we make changes.

I'll bump the sign up thread again after this ends. I think we want to run with exactly a group of 6 ideally, so that we have five players.

I think 4 players would be pretty bad and result in way too many ties.
6 players might be OK. At some point, the chameleon starts to get a lot of info, though.

At any rate, I'd like to give players in this game first crack at playing a new round, but we'll see what happens.

Maybe we could even play 2 games? A mirror match like we do in codenames would be interesting in this as well.

I had a different clue that I really wanted to use but it would have been utterly obvious if the chameleon looked at it the right way, so it was too much of a risk

prip, eye, eholle all could be solid guesses that hit to some degree. Don't want to say the degree to which I think they each hit.

I have an idea about Gad's but very little confidence.

Have no idea what to do here. Have to go to work early, so will sleep on this and see what people are thinking in the morning.
