This format is certainly kinda crazy but lots of fun. First instinct is that black has a bit too much of an advantage.

I guess we'll see if that pans out after the outcome is decided. =)

It might work better with a double board, where the breakdown is 17/16/15/2 and having 1 or 2 fewer words has less of an impact.

I don't like the long list games at all, so I personally wouldn't want to play like this. 3 way long list seems like a nightmare to me. Imagine sorting through all this crap in the late game with words not getting revealed (shudders)

It might be more balanced though.

There might not even be balance issues. Just something I was toying with.

Yeah I get that. Obviously, no way to tell without many more games.

What if black dies immediately if they pick the assassin, but blue / red play under the current rules? If black is just a bit favored that might fix it.

EDIT - I guess that won't work because who would win? Or is black just out?

Hmmm. This should be pretty solvable for me but I'm just not seeing it atm. I think all my words left are "sit" related. With a small chance of one being a margarine overlap. Doubt there's a ocarina overlap but its possible.

Butter was unlikely to be a sit word. And dunno how it could be a Ocarina word, so it was probably 4-2-1

server is the best I can come up with

they might serve margarine? server might seat (sit) you at a restaurant? and I can't really see a connection with any other clue so far

Sigh. I just don't get it then. No idea what else it could be.
Probably won't matter though.
