I'm in for the rematch. Also willing to let someone else try. I've got a codenames semi-final to focus on

I am fine if someone else wants to try. I thought guessing our own would be the easy part.. I seem to suck at this.

It looks like a fun game though, Gad...

Cold is correct! Desert is not

GG Greens. This is a tough game, trying to stay in a narrow range between not too obscure for your partners and not too easy for your opponents. In this match, it might have been a matter of who got two miscommunication tokens first. I know I was having a tough time, and I'm not sure I would have gotten Duckburg's clues.

Nice. I'm 1/4 of my team and I knew 1/4 of the words.

Also in for rematch but I'll be lower participation till the 19th, so feel free to sub me out as needed.

I will play again. Maybe a 3v3, if we have a couple of players looking to pass on the next match. Or 3v2, if it comes to that. It probably won't be a problem, especially if the 2 have experience in a longer game.

GG all. Way different than last time.

Would be up for another. If there's 8 interested again, would rather do 2 separate 2v2s than a 4v4. The flow of the game seemed so much more smooth with 2v2 imo.

Contingent on whether nails or Duck are up for a rematch, we currently have 5, so we can do a 3v2 or 3v3 (with irtm subbing out if nails and Duck both want in)

I'll wait for them to respond and then start a new thread tomorrow

Btw our words were

Spoiler:

my clue for #3 was too clever by half, I guess

What you guys got wrong on my clue was pay = Mexico, as in "we're gonna build a wall and make them pay for it"

Yeah, we went with "fish" as in the poker fish was going to pay us off..

What's the connection between prime and key?

I'd be up for a 2v2 in the future sometime.

I read the first game thread. I wonder if part of the problem in game 2 was that even with three or your own guessers, you have to be careful and not get too cute. The power of three minds helps, but perhaps not to the extent that some of those who played game 1 thought. I really didn't think guessing our own team would be a problem, yet there were three misses in total by both teams..

the prime thing is the most important thing. It is the key thing...
They got it right away, but initially were wondering about "right as rain".. but that was my intent and they got it.

key prime
rain right
fish scale

Prip's "pay" (which we though was "fish") would have been neat if it was for fish, as we would have had scale and pay for fish... quite a misdirection that could have been.

Well, that was an unexpected ending. I'm definitely up for another game, since this one was so short.

I guess my early guesses (1 - time, 2 - birth) were a bit off. To be expected, though, especially given how challenging the clues were for those who even knew the words...

Thread for game #3 is here

The final spot is Duck's if he wants it; otherwise, it's irtm.
