oh yeah we also had the codeword 'Argo' with the options Embassy, Oil, Shot, Missle (and liek 15 other non possiblities) i said it was obviously Embassy and then probably shot
everyone chooses oil.
i say 'uh no it's not oil. oil had nothing to do with the hostage situation. if he wanted it to be embassy and oil he'd have said 'Iraq'. He specifically said Argo to connotate not oil.
They choose oil.
It's enemy team card.
rinse repeat
I bet your friends are voting for Gary Johnson since they clearly have no idea the way the world works
I worry we joke too much about Donald Trump's terrible speech patterns to the point where we will accidentally adopt them in our attempts to be ironic.
I have defbminitely said "Sad!" About things and then questioned my own self worth

Wait is code names secretly a sad low energy game like cards against humanity or whatever
It's a variant on Taboo.
But a bit less fun and frantic than taboo, because the person trying to make you guess the word can only give one-word clues. And then instead of everyone just having fun yelling out words, there's maybe an obnxious discussion over what that person meant by their one-word clue.

I think it's good you guys are using trumpisms. It will make it easier to swallow when he wins and perhaps cancel out a tiny amount of the psychic pain you're going to receive from your otherwise denial

ya it's just team cooperative game or as others have said here, poison.
you have two teams
25 cards face up in 5 rows of 5, each with a different word
1 person from each team is in the hot chair, they have a map of the card grid with spots that are either their teams points, the enemy team's points, dead spaces or the assassin (which makes you lose the game if your team chooses it)
they give a 1 word hint that tries to get their team mates to choose their correct words and then say a number to mean how many cards they need to guess so like 'egypt 3' or something
for example, i was in the seat, 2 of my team mates cards were 'bejing' and 'duck' so i said 'peking 2' and they figured it out.
if they choose a wrong card then the turn is over. go until one team has found all their cards

but yeah I can tell right now I wouldn't have fun playing codewords because people are terrible at words in general and you either have dumb dumbs who think lasers are shiny or dumb dumbs who give you a clue that references anime or some shit
Sir Landsharkresting shark faceRegistered Userregular
even with more serious board games I generally prefer them as vehicles for socializing, which prob annoys VH sometimes cuz it's my turn and I'm still chatting about whatever inane bullshit popped into my head. so I guess the whole group discussion part of code names doesn't bother me cuz it can lead to some fun moments and of course the delightful rage of the clue giver.
Please consider the environment before printing this post.

I always wonder if I knew at least some of the CR forumers. If they played magic at Battlezone probably.
Possibly. I used to go to Battlezone to play board games. I know a couple other forumers used to go by there too though I don't know if they played Magic or if it was just D&D and board games for them.

what? No. Trump already owns the narrative again.
You see very different news than I see. Aren't you in one of those super southern crazy states though?
@spool32 and I won a round of werewolf by calling each other the werewolf the entire game
(we were the werewolves)
that was fking epic
@Syndalis and I had a pretty amazing round as werewolves in the clocktower at PAX East, featuring @Hakkekage desperately trying to get anyone to listen to her and failing utterly while each of us talked to a separate group so they never listened to each other...
also i'm in a fight with my roommates because we had game night and the played this game codenames and the codename was 'shiny' and we had to pick the 2 correct words that sounded the most like 'shiny' which i correctly pointed out were 'Robot' and 'Angel' but they decided to go with needle (da fuck) and laser (um) so we loss
i hate team games like that or mafia where the challenge for me isn't figuring out the answer, it's convincing everyone else not to make the wrong decision
Needles are made of metal and lasers are literally made of light. I would probably pick both over angel
but yeah I can tell right now I wouldn't have fun playing codewords because people are terrible at words in general and you either have dumb dumbs who think lasers are shiny or dumb dumbs who give you a clue that references anime or some shit
when i was in the hot seat i said 'vote' because 2 of my words were 'card' and 'ruler'
they chose pole because they thought 'well maybe he thought pole was actually poll so he could be trying to say that'
literally always talking themselves into choosing worst answers instead of the easiest most obvious choices
I'm tingling with excitement. I just signed a 2 year lease. For the same apartment I am already living in. I will pay $408 less per month than I currently pay.

There are few things in life better than watching the light of hope dim in Hakks eyes as you slowly gaslight her in a game
FWIW, some of the most avid boardgamers I know consider Codenames poison and refuse to play it
now im not saying, but people tell me. people that know a lot about boardgames. they tell me that codenames is a garbage game for garbage people. just what I'm hearing lately, and I hear it a lot, I tell you.
I play a butt-ton of board games, and I learn a brand new board game every week. Codenames is fine. It's a party game designed by a guy who makes great board games of other subgenres (all hail Vlaada!). It really works well for even numbers of players with 6+ people. The hardest part is finding 2 people clever enough to be the code giver.

If I'm ever a manager (hint: I won't be) I am definitely banning it. Whatever you do, no matter what, you will be disallowed from using "simple" as a way to describe it.

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
got matched up against hackers last night (spinbot and wall on one of the other guys)
I might join you in silver soon
I enjoy both! but I also watch Big Bang Theory and listen to garbage pop music so

shining and 'shiny' are different words
i said as much during the game also
