Ok, so that has to be CARD.

Then probably WIND - it was clear we were going that way and Scola hasn't attempted to reclue it.

I have a feeling it might not be chair.

M to the B :/
What's M to the B mean? I was just posting that as a kind of joke, after the result; obviously I thought it was chair also, until the flip.

Anyway, luckily we get another go here.
Feel free to lock in Card and Wind, unless I've missed anything?

Wow, that was a stressful one! I was happy I had chances to come out with some strong (4) clues, but faust matched me each time (well done!). I though when my team guessed CHAIR we were done for.

Here's my post mortem:

ACTOR (4): Play, Shakespeare, Screen, Part
DRUID (4): Circle, Staff, Hawk, Wind
TOPPLE (2): Wind, Card
POKER (1): Card


OK, so Actor has probably one of the easier (4) clues I've been able to give; there were 4 pretty strong words and no real danger words. I briefly considered 5 to see if maybe something like Circle, or Staff or Card might be guessed; however I could also see Light there (fortunately not close enough to the top 4), so not worth the risk.

Then Druid seemed like a decent 4. I figured Staff and Circle would get guessed; a little less sure on Hawk and Wind, but thought there was a good chance (though Cloak was a little bit of a concern, as well as maybe nut or palm? since I associate Druids with forests. But a) I didn't think we'd necessarily get a 4th round, and b) at the time I didn't have any good word to associate Card with anything else. Since you had Wind as your fifth, I was kinda hoping you would guess Cloak, and then I could do Poker for the third round.

And then Topple occurred to me! I thought Chair (and to a lesser degree Snowman) could topple, but to me at least a single card is more likely to topple than a single chair (I did not consider a whole stack!). Additionally, if the last two were Wind and Chair, I was hoping you'd see that I would've had better options (e.g. Lift). (I find this guessing logic alwats tricky, because it's also possible the codemaster doesn't see these options, so assuming they could've can sometimes lead to missing a guess).

FYI, there is a Druid card in Dominion, but I knew swowl is not a Dominion player, and wasn't sure about infangthief. And was more worried a 5 there would lead to my team guessing a blue word, or maybe even Light.

late to the party, but I'll still give my thoughts.

Ringtone (4): Cell, Bell, Palm, File
Apple (5): Pie, Nut, Silver, File, Battery
Midas (2): Palm, Silver

I realized that Ringtone could clue more than 4 when going for Battery, but I was worried that with too big a clue you might end up on LIGHT, the assassin. For the second guess I thought I would need to win that round as the other team had only 2 left. I thought for a while about what the best clue would be and Apple was the best I got.

Silver was there for the color of MacBooks, I suppose that never got across. On the final clue I was aware of the dangers of Leprechaun, but I thought that with the previous clues it would be clear that I wasn't going for that. Who could have known that there are Leprechaun apples :(

In retrospect, my last clue should have been Lining: 2, a clue I thought about earlier but then forgot when it actually came to it.

Alright, so like, Apple and Log for sure, right? Feel free to lock these in.

Otherwise I think, in order of likelihood:

- Flower: different kind of plant
- Brazil: famously the home of lots of trees
- Stick: not quite a log, but still made of wood

Brush & Flower are both connections, but are indistinguishable to me in terms of which would be better.

Rivers branch out, but I think he would’ve gone Branch for the clue.

Boards are made of wood from Trees.

Trees Dance in the wind. They also Wave in the wind.

Brazil, as you say, has the rainforests.

Worms have association with Trees.

Good!

I kind of feel like going for FLOWER, I feel like it would be at worst neutral and we could cross one option off the list.

I guess I’m thinking more of flowers as in, like, lilies or roses. But Trees “flower” when producing fruit or new blooms, so yeah, I’m good with that.
