It seems like most people have played before, ask questions if you have them. PM a spymaster if it seems bad to post in the thread. You can also PM someone in the other game if necessary.

Rules

Two teams play against each other at one time. Each team has one spymaster/clue-giver, and the rest of the team are guessers.

The word list be will randed, using this Google Sheet, whereby red team has 9 words, and blue team has 8 words.

I suggest someone from one game rands the list for the other. They should PM the spymasters in other game the un-colored list to post in the thread as well as the color-coded list. When making a list, be sure not to accidentally re-rand it!

The goal of the game is to guess all of your teams words before the other team guesses theirs.

Spymasters/clue-givers can only communicate regarding the game in the form of (Word*, Number) at the beginning of their go, or to update the game status. For example, if a clue-giver wants his team to guess the words "Umbrella", "Glass" and "Gate" he might say "Water 3", indicating 3 words connected to his clue. The rest of his team make individual guesses in the game thread until they are incorrect, they pass or they reach the maximum guesses for that go, which is the number given (3 in the example) plus one.

The spymaster has the option of "unlimited" for his number where his team can have as many correct goes as they can, if they choose to do so. He can also use "0" for his number, which has the same effect as "unlimited", HOWEVER, he is indicating to his team that the given word before "0" is NOT linked to the words he wants to be guessed.

*Words have to be single words, no hyphenated words, and no made-up words.

*I'm going to say only one word is allowed regardless. You can use the proper name of someone or something. We can test the waters and expand in future games if things go smoothly.

*The clue word given by the spymaster must be related to the target words by its meaning. No rhyming clues, no alternate spellings, no clues related to the physical position of the word on the list.

*Clue words can't be any of the unrevealed words on the board, even words the spymaster is not trying to clue for. You can't cay a part of an unrevealed word on the board. "Break" as a clue is illegal if "breakdown" is on the board, for instance. This is the easiest rule to accidentally violate in my opinion. You CAN say a word on the board as a clue if it has been revealed.

*No extra hints: DO NOT say something like "This may be a bit of a stretch...WORD NUMBER". Your clue should literally be one bolded word.

*I'm going to say it is fine to look up the meanings of words. I don't think it breaks the game. We can also adjust this one if it ends up seeming bad.

Illegal clues:

If no answers are given after the clue, the turn ends immediately and the other team gets to flip a word. If answers are given, the other team gets flip a word, and the opposing team is auto skipped next turn.

Unless someone has a better idea about what to do about this.

Words that are in bold count as an official guess. Bold pass to pass

I realized there are a couple of critical things missing from the rules, which I can't edit.

*A when a team makes a wrong guess, that word is revealed as red, blue, or the purple word

*If the purple word is guessed, the guessing team automatically loses!

You should always resort the list so that colored words are at the top or bottom. Makes it easier to parse through unrevealed words.
