Crash
Craft
Scientist?

Comet/Model possible backups

1 makeup which was supposed to be Screen next (had a typo on my list)

hmmmm

could easily be any of those 3 after crash/craft

i actually think scientist is most likely to be missed/bad tho

I like

crash
comet
craft

scientist
model.

yeah i think i'd go with comet in my top 3. just seems less likely to be harmful

would put it third tho

and screen 4th

Scientist (for this)
Cast (for Scrooge)

Think that is where we are since you both like Comet as top 3. Feel free to bold if you like.

looks like we all agree

Not finding a ton after a quick look.

Cleopatra a ruler too, but 1000 years apart

any links with bear/sail/coast?

We need to decide if Comet was one of the housecleaning ones, or we just binked it. It is a powdery, abrasive household cleaner. AE and D1, neither of you commented so I assume it is not in Australia or USA. I have not seen it in awhile in Canada, but think it still exists. AE, do you have it in the US?

Bowl not being ours might make comet less likely for the 4 housekeeping imo, as it is mostly a bathroom cleaner and I kind of associate it with toilets and sinks..

But, maybe we treat comet as one of the housecleaning words for now and revisit later in the game.

I've heard of comet so would hold off on firing a 4th cleaning word for sure - it's a little weird with bowl but if spymaster is looking at 4 blues and a neutral I'd clue away all the same

hmmm was he known for anything in particular? If I recall he was a vicious fighter so sword would make sense, don't really recall much sailing/coast/water type stuff at all. Genghis Khan is also a pokemon - it's like this giant bear looking thing - maybe that's what I'm thinking of but bear is sticking out to me for some reason like he wore a lot of fur or something, not sure what all the Mongols did.

As far as other rulers Cleopatra is a one name and Joan of Arc has some equity too...worried something like Napoleon would hit those harder so it's probably not both?

1200's Mongols were Nomads.. He lead the Mongolian Empire, which was/got huge.. he was known as ruthless...

He/they invaded Japan too, so that is why I wondered about sail/coast... but, everything else was inland I think...

My Ghenghis Khan knowledge ends there..lol But D1 is a bottomless vessel of knowledge


I think I had bear on the brain from Russia being known as the bear..

I don't really have much to add aside from what was already said. Only other thing I know about him is that he loved the sex, and some ridiculous number of people today are direct descendants of him. Nothing on the board really fits that tho, apart from maybe pillow.

China and sword seem like locks. I would add horseshoe for 3rd since that was his method of transport, and a lot of images you see of him are on horseback. Queen maybe 4th because they are also rulers (plus he probably raped a bunch of them). He also had a huge empire, so maybe giant is decent?

I'm also fine treating comet as a housecleaning word for now. I've never heard of it, but if it's a thing in America, then it makes a lot of sense why he went that over just "cleaning".

that sounds good, D1

I think we had something recently about Mongolian Empire and horses... may not have been the 4x 4 game..

How does this look peoples..?

China
Sword
Horseshoe
Queen
glass
pass

giant (Genghis)
water (Housecleaning if glass is wrong)

I like it

I like that...kinda eh on Queen so think giant would be my preference for 4th word

I still prefer queen to giant, but not that strongly. Will let AK be the tiebreaker.

sounds good, I was just thinking due to the giant empire - feel like there should be some more to that besides just China though ruler connection to Queen makes sense too, both kinda loose

I like queen better... blame me if wrong...lol
