(MOD ADVICE: :911:

is one correct guess away from victory. Now might be a good time for a Hail Mary. Remember, CLUE: 0 and CLUE: Unlimited are valid, and both give your team unlimited guesses.)

Hey, it's in the OP.

EDIT: Though I should clarify, "unlimited" guesses still means your turn is over if you gently caress up.

# ? Aug 10, 2015 19:39

Some Numbers: Sep 28, 2006; "LET'S GET DOWN TO WORK!!"

Yeah, I went back and scoured the OP and found it.

I wasn't complaining, I was saying that that's an interesting rule and I like it.

Merauder: Apr 17, 2003; The North Remembers.

Yeah, I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out the best approach, but it's not looking too good. Going to go with,

## CHILDREN : 0

(so that's 0 words associated with Children, unlimited guesses- go for broke team!)

gently caress it! ## GASOLINE

Lichtenstein: May 31, 2012; It'll make sense, eventually.

Ok, so let's eliminate the words that could be childreny:

- kidnapping for sure
- chest
- name
- :aatrek:

option: squeeze

Also let's think what could have gone on the previous questions we hosed up (and is hopefully not too childreny).

I was all primed to guess chest, because nothing fit.

Then I saw "squeeze."

Am I overthinking things?

# ? Aug 10, 2015 22:22

SilverMike: Sep 17, 2007; TBD

Pretty sure you're overthinking it, squeeze is a stretch when chest is on the board.

I wanted to end it in style with a boobs clue, but I figured that would potentially lead to squeeze (also why I did breast instead of breasts). Good work team, you were awesome guessers!

Merauder: Apr 17, 2003; The North Remembers.

Man, trying to associate our team's words together was super hard. @_@

Our remaining words were Invalid, Concentration, Desert, and Squeeze

For Construction-2, I was going for Concentration (you have to concentrate to build something right? Probably too broad.)

For Poker-2, I was making another go at Concentration while I had something else I could still link it to.

At Problem-2 I was really starting to...well...have a problem linking stuff well, and went for linking nuisance and Invalid (something invalid is a problem...I guess?!)

On the last one, as Gutter Owl mentioned the blue team had one softball of a word left to get so we had to get EVERYTHING in one shot. I was trying to link at least 3 of the remaining 4 together to give a chance at getting them all, but look at those last 4 words! What could/should I have done? So I went with the "just don't guess the Assassin word" clue and made it a free-for-all. :v:

Fun times regardless! Thanks GU for organizing and for all the sweet pictures!

Alright, we're almost set to launch a second game. We have 7 people in line, and need just one more to launch. Players of previous games, feel free to resubmit back into the queue. Priority will be given to players who haven't played yet, however.

You made a good attempt with what you were given, Merauder. That is a rough set of words to link up and dance around!

Anyway, good game all, this just cemented my desire to buy Codenames once I see it in my FLGS.

Thanks for running it, I loving love this game and we already preordered our copy (since the advance copy for vlaadacon was kinda co-owned by us organizers).

I'll pass on the next game, but will follow. Seriously best game of the year, I don't want any other fillers (except my wife just ordered red7).

I also ordered Deck Building: The Deck Building Game because... I couldn't resist.

But in other news, I totally want in! For any role.
