Well done Prip, we are 5-1 and each have spied 3 times I think...
Not much to say about this game. I was worried that their board looked a bit better than ours but we each had some orphan clues and blockers.
Them hitting Penguin didn’t really help much, as rather than go cold 2 to get penguin and ice cream I still had to use one turn to get ice cream.
Them hitting bank helped though, as rather than going for river 2 to get bank and bed, I could now pick off ice cream and then go undercover 2 or voyeurism 2 to get spy and bed to end the game..
I gambled with outdoors and thought we would be ok even if you hit one of theirs because then fishing would get you thinking you got the other outdoors one
I shoulda just never included Saturn in outdoors and then after you got fishing you would have passed and we likely win
I thought about cluing you off of dog and bank instead of doing fishing but I couldn’t find a word to connect those 2 and hoped fishing got you the outdoors connection you mentioned that the clue evoked...also you had shown a proclivity to pass when unsure in prior rounds so I thought you’d pass after fishing since still more words to come
Once down to last clue, I really wanted to go Meineke to get you thinking mufflers to get pipe with check and Saturn but you aren’t American so I was worried you’d be like “what is Meineke?”
I almost did exhaust but I was worried you’d got fighter or other terms...pipe and Saturn seemed good but “check” for exhaust seemed like a stretch
I thought of muffler for check Saturn pipe but didn’t want you to think muffling sound and do bell, the assassin
In the end I had to hope you did pipe over track for mechanic, but honestly I go track there over pipe as well and I think 90% do so not your fault
All good, Nich. Was fun playing with you. In hindsight, maybe “emissions” gets us there even better than exhaust. We should play together again sometime.
I did a search on forum and you had mentioned it tilted you having to pick a random US state when filling out online forms so I figured that meant you weren’t from the US thus didn’t have a state
