GG all, it ended up getting real interesting in the end.

Nich I ****ed up big with that unlimited clue. Press was indeed the 4th pencil word.

I knew you'd guess lion for Sphynx, that's why I did it early so no harm would be done. I didn't think of adding Server to the pencil clue, I guess we could've done it in 3. Going in, I didn't see an easy way to do it in 3, but felt confident in 4. But I didn't see blue getting it done in 3, so I wasn't concerned. We also had the luxury of having all our blockers being neutrals, so we definitely had the easier path. And I nearly blew it with a rookie mistake, yeesh.

I could only think of solid two clues, but blue rarely gets 4 turns. I guess we did this time, but it may have played out differently had I gone the conservative route.

bullets was fine

Model - 4 was super thin. I was just trying to get enough info out there where we'd have some equity to win in three. I was totally expecting you to say beach and maybe queen before all of these

Chick, calf (nice legs on models), dinosaur, and key (like a key on a model/diagram/map explaining it)

Again I know calf and key, in particular, are super thin.

Turn three, it was ~impossible to come up with something that got all of ours and missed the assassin and red words. A zero seemed better. I knew we'd have to get lucky. You did avoid most of them that I wanted you to.

Turn 4, I just needed you to avoid night and queen. You had already eliminated center, press, and turkey. The rest were ours.

Anyway, I think you did fine considering what you were given. gg

turkey assassin was a ***** for sure.

Polar opposite of the last round and the super easy list. Variance swings back the other way.

Seeing you play a negative game by ending it with 2 0-clues was a unique experience for me, I was definitely intrigued. And given the grouping difficulties it was the smart play IMO.

I was completely on the wrong track. I see the problem you had, in that there are a lot of groups of two.

I missed black queen, obviously, but it was a great clue by you. If I eliminate queen, my answer is forced and we win. I should have seen the connection.

GG all

A little sloppy that last game but fun trio of games

Do we play another team now or what’s next for this series?
