Definitely Aztec. Mexico as well?

Could be, but we only need one, and they need six. I'd pass here and let them try to dig themselves out.

Hmm, I don't have an idea for a third guess, but we are so far behind we probably just need to go for something. Thoughts?

It's possible we have already gotten everything the clues were meant for. I think I would avoid guessing New York because we've gotten duplicatey clues ever since we brought it up.

I guess we'll need an unlimited clue anyway, so we can guess next turn just the same if they somehow miss. I think it's a close decision between randomly guessing and passing. Whatever you want!

Oh yeah. They only need one so it's probably better to avoid giving them the flip. Pass

Post mortem:

Lock (3): Pick, Steal, Laser
Animal (3): Dog, Rabbit, Cricket
Montezuma (2): Aztec, Mexico
Photons (1): Laser

Yes, you read that correctly! I thought our word was "Steal", not Seal. So we got pretty lucky there that Seal also worked for Lock!! (If I had noticed it was Seal, of course, it could just have been another animal)

I knew Lock was a stretch for Laser, but was trying to get something for all three of those (remember, I thought it was "Steal"), and was thinking about thieves, spies, traps, locks, etc... And I figured go with it before the more obvious ones so you could use extra guesses if you wanted.

Clearly, it also helped they guessed our "State", though I planned to tie that into Aztec and Mexico with something like "Guadalajara".

Our having Mexico hurt Blue, as they had China, New York, and Africa, but were blocked from simple clues like "Locations" or "Geography".
