Well done team 1.


Molly..... Molly...... Molly..... Thank you I really enjoyed that!

Will you run this again? Please?

Great game Molly, I’ll definitely play again


What were their words?

Yeah I'm pleased with how it ran. Any changes you would make as someone who has also played the physical game?


If there's interest yeah I'll run it again. It's pretty simple to set up actually. Unfortunately I'm not the showman that Necro or some folk are so the games are severely lacking in pizzazz and fizzle.

Cant think of anything off hand, though its been a good while since I played it. It's a pretty simple game once people have played it once.

It does lose a bit of the tension, being opposite the opposing team, listening to them whispering, working out your clues etc But worked well.

I couldn't remember if codes could be repeated, but I see they get shuffled back in the deck to be possibly redrawn.

I love how suddenly there's an "oh ****" point in the game, where you have to really try and give clues to throw the other team off.


Any ideas on our words team 2?

Great game molly, thanks a million.
In hindsight I think I'd play it quite differently

I'm not sure, but might it work better with one codemaster for the whole game? Honestly don't know, but it crossed my mind

I think the time limit could be much stricter too (I know we were probably the slower team though)

Honestly, I don't think we do. We felt reasonably sure on some going into the last round, but were then completely wrong, so unless you were throwing out a deliberate dud I think we were off

1 - we thought BURGER, but then round didn't go there
2 - we thought CARD, but expected mother to go there
3 - we thought DATE until checking the rules and realising you using date as a clue excluded it. Drifted towards ROMANCE, though late on I thought CHURCH
4 - we were on something like INTERNATIONAL but I think this is the one we were furthest from

Tongue
Bonus
Funeral
Stranger

Yeah, skeiths last clue was pretty good too. But as soon as I saw screw, I went right that's driver and then tried to fit the drink clue into 1 or 2, even though it didn't really fit either too well. I expect team 2 thought the same!

Yeah, I went for screwdriver, that's why I thought you were wrong

Ah, funeral we'd considered, otherwise we were fairly off

You didn't guess all of them correctly...no ways .nope.

I hadn't really thought about timings at all before the game tbh.
In the physical game you're supposed to do both the intercept stage and the guess stage for both teams basically simultaneously but we never do that when we're playing. We always just go one team at a time to intercept and then guess.

Having one codemaster could work but I think the intention of the game makers was to allow different interpretations of the codewords from each person to get a bigger range of clues. When I last played the game with my sister and her bf we actually tried out just having one codemaster for the whole game and it wasn't great. I like that everyone has to have a go at coming up with clues. It can be incredibly frustrating.

Ah yeah, fair enough. It was just a thought about the codemaster

Anyway...



:pac:

Rematch implies there was a first match

One thing we wondered, not sure if it is in the rules, is the posibility to have the same keyword multiple ti es in the code. For example, 3-3-4 or 3-3-3

Ready to go again if we have enough. Be good if we could 4 a team too

Not sure it helped
