I like WINTER. Even though seasons don't work that way, it's too suggestive to not clue.

Aside: If you end up listening to Mylo Xyloto, I recommend skipping Hurts Like Heaven. The album is pretty good overall, but that one track is so dynamically compressed that it insults my ears.

That sounds fine to me. I definitely felt kind of weirdly left out as the spymaster. And the game works IRL where there are no spoiler tags.

Finding clue ideas on Google or Wikipedia is a strategy that I don't think we can exclude, without playing a "no research" version of the game that's more like the face-to-face version.
But I think we've just demonstrated that overly specific Wikipedia-based clues can get overly specific Wikipedia-based wrong answers, anyway.

Still discussing.
Okay, what about STREAM? Otira is described as a saddle point between two rivers. Seems like a stronger connection than RAILWAY to LINK.

Sorry for idling. I was leaning toward no on SOUTH, so I think you made the right choice.

I'm actually suggesting that GENIUS fits Sapindus also, as a pun, because Sapindus is a genus. So that lets us not have to guess SOUTH.

The order I'd like to guess things in is BERRY, then GENIUS. And we should make a third guess but I'm hoping you find something better than SOUTH.

A genus of shrubs and small trees, commonly known as 'soapberries' or 'soapnuts', whose name comes from 'soap' and 'India'.
Okay, now I definitely believe GENIUS. BERRY is also quite clear. For the third, I'm thinking SOUTH, because it grows in warm regions that are south of most people?
Why Sapindus in particular, though?

No, never mind, there are still Golems and stuff.
Another attempt: "This card does nothing if you play it when it's not your turn".

To prevent having to keep a written log of what's going on in the turn, I'd at least suggest "Each other player may play an action card from his hand that is not a Harold".

That BGG game is crazy. Giving a multiple-word title as a clue seems clearly against the rules to me.

Got it. I guess I believe GENIUS a little bit more now, but looking up the location of the city of Weimar, I also believe CZECH.
But at this point I suggest we just guess REVOLUTION and then pass until we have more information.

I find GENIUS to be pretty hard to deduce from Weimar and I don't believe it. These neighboring place to Germany (ALPS and CZECH) are catching my attention but I don't know what relation to Weimar to look for there.
We're allowed to look things up on Google and Wikipedia, right?

Okay, so definitely GERMANY, and almost certainly REVOLUTION as that's how the Weimar Republic came about. Not sure about the third one.

Good game, all. I feel like that one just kind of landed in my lap.
Give me a bit to figure out what's going on in the new game.
