Game 13 - E.N. - 11-10-2022
It's been a while, anyone fancy a game of codenames?
In case you're new to it, dive in. Teams of 2+, a grid of words and one player gives one word clues to which of those words belong to their team. Guess them all and you win. Simple once you start, I'll explain better if we get any newbies.

You'll get the hang of it easily
One more and we can go
RE: Game 13 - nothing - 11-10-2022
It's great craic aaronjennings!
RE: Game 13 - Neowise - 11-10-2022
I can play
RE: Game 13 - Neowise - 11-10-2022
i've subscribed to this thread to get email notfied.
RE: Game 13 - E.N. - 11-10-2022
Brilliant, let's get going in the morning
Neo/nothing, want to captain?
I'm happy either way, think it's best if Aaron is guesser first game...
RE: Game 13 - Neowise - 11-10-2022
no preference here, put me anywhere.
RE: Game 13 - nothing - 11-10-2022
I'm happy with either, game runners choice
RE: Game 13 - E.N. - 11-10-2022
OK, randomizer says me and Neo captains...
Neo, want to pick red/blue and I'll generate the board in the morning
RE: Game 13 - E.N. - 12-10-2022
@aaronjennings, rough intro
Each round I'll give you a one word clue, and the number of answers it refers to. You can guess one more than this number, so generally that means you can guess what I'm aiming at, and pick up an earlier one if you have any hanging around
In theory you guess one by one, but often people will say "X and if correct Y"
If you give a correct answer you go again. If you give an incorrect one it might be theirs or neutral, then play switches. One word is the assassin though, pick that and it's instant defeat
One intricacy near the end might be that I'm forced to go crazy, if they're going to win next go. I may say CLUE UNLIMITED, which means you can make as many guesses as you like. Less common, but in the rules, is "CLUE 0" - in this case I'm giving a clue as to what it isn't! And you have unlimited guesses
As an example if how the board looks and a round plays out...

Your guesses should be in capitals. You can chat away as much as you like otherwise, if you want to explain your thought process
Neo and I will generally be silent apart from the clues and correct/wrong calls as we're not to give anything else away. But ask questions and nothing will answer, or Neo and I can give factual answers on rules etc
Oh, more for if you captain a future game, clues must refer to the meaning of the word. For example, you can't clue long to mean its a long word, or clue letters in it, or its position on the board etc
RE: Game 13 - Neowise - 12-10-2022
blue
RE: Game 13 - Neowise - 12-10-2022
try not to capitize your pass requests, as PASS is a valid word that does appear.
just pass is fine, or
we pass.
RE: Game 13 - aaronjennings - 12-10-2022
Sounds good, I've seen people play it on YouTube, and had a read back through the previous game here as well. Looking forward to it

as you are not absolutely new, would you like to captain on your first rodeo??
if you would, just say red or blue before the morning, and you'll be put in captains position instead.
your call.
tomorrows gonna be fun!
RE: Game 13 - aaronjennings - 12-10-2022
No thanks, I'm happy for EN to take the driver's seat to start out with
RE: Game 13 - E.N. - 12-10-2022
OK, here's the board. Blue (Neo/nothing) to kick off...
RE: Game 13 - lorcand1990 - 12-10-2022
I'll take up a watching spot on this & hopefully will play one soon.. haven't played or seen videos of it before, so will need to get researching... or just wing it and hope for the best

We often have guesser teams. That way you can bounce ideas of each other.
RE: Game 13 - aaronjennings - 12-10-2022
Fine by me, if you're up for it
RE: Game 13 - nothing - 12-10-2022
Best way to learn is to jump in!
RE: Game 13 - lorcand1990 - 12-10-2022
Ok sure I'll give it a bash since Aaron doesn't mind
RE: Game 13 - E.N. - 12-10-2022
Think we've lost @Neowise already 🤣
RE: Game 13 - nothing - 12-10-2022
Come on @Neowise, clue me in
I know we're not the best team, but we can surely kick some first timers behinds
RE: Game 13 - Neowise - 12-10-2022
Somalia : 2
RE: Game 13 - nothing - 12-10-2022
Ok, well its an African country, so
AFRICA
RE: Game 13 - nothing - 12-10-2022
Hmmm, tenuous links to maybe king, mount, revolution, but good link to horn
If africa correct, HORN
Then pass
RE: Game 13 - E.N. - 12-10-2022
Both correct
@lorcand1990 and @aaronjennings
TRAP 2
RE: Game 13 - lorcand1990 - 12-10-2022
I think I have one, can I name it without it being our official answer?
RE: Game 13 - Neowise - 12-10-2022
yes, just don't capitalise it. answers in all caps.
RE: Game 13 - lorcand1990 - 12-10-2022
Cool thanks Neo
Aaron I'm thinking 'net' is one of them, let me know if you're happy to go with it?
RE: Game 13 - aaronjennings - 12-10-2022
Yeah, I was thinking Net and Pit, possibly Track?
We'll lock in NET
What do you think for the second?
RE: Game 13 - lorcand1990 - 12-10-2022
Pit was going to be my next best guess too, the only other one that could be an obscure enough link would be ball, but I'd say pit is right
RE: Game 13 - nothing - 12-10-2022
I think I'd have guessed net and pit too, you two are naturals
RE: Game 13 - aaronjennings - 12-10-2022
I was also considering Bow, but that seems less of a trap and more of an offensive weapon
Since we're in agreement, if out first guess is right, we will also lock in PIT
And then we'll pass
