Sorry we let you down, Awa!

Well, I was hoping that you would guess berry, but Erebor was just an act of desperation anyway. This was just a very difficult board for blue, I can't think of a way we could have had a realistic chance of winning.

CATWOMAN: 3

Jack Rudd · « **Reply #832 on:** February 27, 2020, 03:44:16 pm »

Hmmm. Not greatly familiar with the mythos, but I seem to recall her being a thief.

EFHW · « **Reply #833 on:** February 27, 2020, 03:59:25 pm »

Then you know more than me. Any other details you remember?

Jack Rudd · « **Reply #834 on:** February 27, 2020, 04:45:47 pm »

Not really. Halle Berry won a Razzie for playing her, which doesn't help us in the least.

EFHW · « **Reply #835 on:** February 27, 2020, 06:46:02 pm »

I uave a vague association with knight. How about if we do thief and pass?

Jack Rudd · « **Reply #836 on:** February 28, 2020, 09:04:59 am »

Seems reasonable.

Thief

Jack Rudd · « **Reply #837 on:** February 28, 2020, 09:05:31 am »

Ah yes, Batman is the Dark Knight, isn't he? Yeah, that one could work.

WestCoastDidds · « **Reply #838 on:** February 28, 2020, 09:22:30 am »

Thief is red!

Circus: 2

I have some ideas for their missing words for catwoman, but we should avoid giving them any hints.

Could it be dance and bear for circus ? A dancing bear is a circus act, although I recall a bear on a bike also being one and cycle is there, so not sure. Can't find any obvious circus related clues, like lion/tent/show, so Didds could have gone for the "combined word assosiation" of hinting for a single concept made of two words that only would really occur in a circus.

Awaclus · « **Reply #842 on:** March 01, 2020, 07:45:41 pm »

I don't think the clue for dance + bear would be circus, but bear or dance could be options individually I guess.

There's life and grace, if we think of the ancient Roman circuses where losing gladiators could have their life spared or not, depending on whether the emperor was merciful (I'm not sure if that's actually historically accurate, but that's a mental image that a lot of people have). That's the best I can think of.

Eevee · « **Reply #843 on:** March 01, 2020, 08:44:21 pm »

perhaps start with dance?

Awaclus · « **Reply #844 on:** March 02, 2020, 04:30:59 am »

Dance

WestCoastDidds · « **Reply #845 on:** March 02, 2020, 10:02:41 am »

Dance is neutral

Eevee · « **Reply #846 on:** March 02, 2020, 12:37:27 pm »

I'm getting clobbered in both my games! Darn it.

You could come play mafia with us!!

Well, on the bright side (for us at any rate), it looks like this board is difficult for both teams.
