Codenames World Cup GAME 7 - Team Young vs Team Free

Mollyb60

Team Young (BLUE): Molly(c), Digital Solitude
Team Free (RED): Guffy(c), Banjo


Will update once I hear back from Guffy about which team he wants to be.

Guffy

We've gone the blue team twice so we'll change it up and go red this time

Mollyb60

Blue go first so the clue is:
Westminster 2

Digital Solitude

LONDON

Mollyb60

London is a Blue word.
Play or Pass?

Digital Solitude

Play, CROWN

Mollyb60

Crown is a red word. Doh.

Play passes to the reds.
Guffy you're up.

Guffy

Red clue
Sedlec 2

Banjo

Sedlec in czech republic? With the bone church that looks like the Undertakers 21st?

Czech is the obvious one, but then what's the 2nd? Temple? Shadow?

Play CZECH

Guffy

Czech is a red word

Play or pass

Banjo

There's Soul as well. Creepy looking place.

I'll play TEMPLE please. Pass if red.

Mollyb60

Temple is a red word. Pass to Blue.

Mollyb60

Blue Clue:
Cowboy 2

Mollyb60

And I'm off for the night so I'll pick this up in the morning.

Guffy

Ah its ok digi, i can tell you if you are right or wrong

Digital Solitude

I'm thinking horse and bill, as in Buffalo.

HORSE

Guffy

Horse is a blue word
Play or pass?

Baggly

Updated board?

Digital Solitude

Play, BILL

Hmm, court is the only one I can see relating to Westminster, not 100 on it though.

PASS

Guffy

Red clue

Limberneck 2

Banjo

The problem with this clue is I've spent ten minutes trying to write a funny ha-ha "you and your crazy search history" joke but I just can't make it work. But seriously, what the ****??

Duck and disease, I'm assuming.

Play DUCK

I hope you're a vet who likes to travel but I'm worried bodies will begin to turn up in the czech republic tomorrow...

Guffy

Duck is a red word

Play or pass

Banjo

Play DISEASE

Missing temple

Mollyb60

Oops. I'm afk at the mo but will update it when i get back.

Mollyb60

Current state of play.

Banjo

Horses and Dogs can get it, but dogs tend to be resistant, they get it from eating birds and Limberneck rather than botulism tends to be associated with ducks rather than other animals, so I'm going to back way from this for now.

PASS

Guffy

Play passes to blue...


I don't like being captain. No banter

Banjo

In fairness, it's not like there's any banter when you're not captain either, on account of the captain not being allowed to respond. 2 person teams (not 2 man, it's IWD18, bitches! Wait! That's me stripping that word of it's gender associations! I'm being progressive!) make for very business-like games. This is the Tinder of codenames. I was hoping for more of an Elite Singles vibe

BTW, what's the score? How many have we left to get?

Red need 3

Blue need 6

Mollyb60

I don't think we have a hope but we'll keep on.
Blue Clue: Instructor 2

Digital Solitude

Teacher and car as in driving instructor?

No choice but to risk it I suppose

CAR

Guffy

Car is a Blue word

Play or pass

Digital Solitude

Play, too far behind for anything else

TEACHER

Guffy

Teacher is a blue word
Play or pass

Digital Solitude

So, Westminster could be Fair, as in the London Film Fair, soldier, like the Unknown Warrior who's buried there or court, like the magistrates court.

I'm gonna risk COURT

Need a big one next round if I'm wrong Mols

Mollyb60

Court is a red word. Fcuk.
Play passes to Reds.

Banjo

Next round? There's not going to be a next round!
(Probably because I'm about to hit the assassin )

Come on Guffster! Take us home with a sweet, sweet deuce!

Digital Solitude

Crap Sorry Mols

Mollyb60

Not your fault DS. I'm failing spectacularly at the clues.

Guffy

Heroin 2

Banjo

OK.... So needle is a given. I hope. For the second one there's Smuggler, there's China as in China White although I think that's now used as a term for Fentanyl because "Prince Killer" wasn't clicking with the boys in Marketing. War for War on Drugs. That's kind of reaching though. Tap for Tapping a vein... Ah look, none of this matters if Needle is wrong.

Play : NEEDLE

Mollyb60

Needle is a red word. Play or PASSSSSSSSS...

Banjo

NOOOOOO! So much pressure!

On top of the others there was that dog from earlier in the year who was addicted to smack, and those police dogs that sniff out drugs.
And I can't shake the feeling that I could work Bolt or Piano in there if I tried.... Wait, bolt *was* a dog... oh no. Get a grip Banjo!

OK Guffy. I'm sorry / you're welcome - delete as applicable

Play

SMUGGLER...?

Mollyb60

Smuggler is a red word. That's the game for the reds. Well played.

Baggly

GG all!

Final Board:



If anyone can tell me how to link SHADOW, DARK, FAIR, and WAR please feel free to tell me. That board was terrible for the Blues.
