yep boom. do we go for part next? i think a word we have speculated about is a likelier choice, but couldn’t he have said like “fuse” or something like that if it was boom and part? it’s got to be a word he didn’t think any way of connecting to boom.

Oooops part was already guessed and red at that, I got confused with it again haha.


I think we can rule out horn (clue could have been alarm, sound or blare for example), dream (i'm sure there's something like "success" you could do), east (i think he could have thought of some explosion that happened in the east, like fukushima, krakatau or tunguska or something). Pass doesn't feel right also, he could have given a clue like "grenade" and I think it would have been better than giving a single word clue. I think even for bug there's something like "locusts" that would have worked as a two word clue, I think boom is such a crappy word you need to get creative with it and trust your guessers to understand.

That would leave us with leprechaun, mirror, or link.

Our clues:
avengers 4 - that was iron, comic, contract?, ?
Custard 3 -lemon, cream, ?
porcelain 2 - sink and ivory

So the last one is going to pertain to avengers and/or custard. Leprechaun and the avengers are both fictional? But if you know for a fact that Galzria would know that ant-man is an avenger (i wouldnt have), I think bug might be our best bet. Can't think of anything with mirror, I guess avenging is a LINK between the avengers but that seems too far-fetched to give a one word clue on the last turn. Can't connect custard with leprechaun or bug, maybe you could put bugs in a pie but sounds pretty out there as a clue.

So I would say it's either bug or leprechaun, and I'm leaning bug. Thoughts, please do ask if you can't follow my thought process somewhere, this was a stream of consciousness

K so i don’t wanna day too much on the off chance that it somehow goes we get one they mess up and we get another shot.

But the obvious multi team is BUG (leaves and avengers).

Outside of that i cannot find anything we share on.

We got 2 on avengers and then did not get another but they potentially got CONTRACT for us.
The CUSTARD could of been SINK as a double on our next guess.
So i think we are looking for the last avengers here - so link for team or bug for Ant-Man. Personally i like bug but i am open to interpretation.

Alright bug

Bug is blue for 9!

Good job guys!

My clue list was:

Avengers: 4 - Iron, Comic, Bug, Boom (I thought Boom was the stretch word there)
Custard: 3 - Lemon, Cream, Ivory (Thinking color - Ivory is off-white, and Custard is pale yellow. Definitely the stretch though)
Porcelain: 2 - Ivory, Sink (Swan pretty much nailed both and my reasoning. Nothing dangerous here)
Explosion: 1 - Boom (Couldn’t come up with an absolutely clear tie between Boom & Bug, so decided on going with a 1 clue to direct you to look back instead of trying to stretch a 2 clue).
Never clue’d Contract, which would’ve been tough.

Avengers: Bug - Spider-Man & Ant-Man.

Good game guys! Joth, I’m sorry you had to guess solo! You did well though with some tough spots!

Scola, I am dying to know where you were going with your clues! But I’m glad I didn’t guess Bug for leaves. The thought that it might be red and you guys had discussed guessing it is what made me decide passing was strategically acceptable there.

Post Mortem:

So I found this one to be a really tough board as a spymaster (obviously based on my clues...) I'd love to hear what better clues you all would use to connect some of these?

My clues:
LEAVES (3): COVER, PART, SHADOW
CLAPTON (2): GUITAR, MILLIONAIRE
FIGURES (4): SHADOW, MILLIONAIRE, DREAM, MIRROR 

And what I was thinking:

With the assassin as HORN, GUITAR seemed hard - I couldn't think of any GUITAR PARTs (maybe Strings, but that seemed not great). And then MILLIONAIRE / CONTRACT was another tricky path. So Ideally I wanted them to get CONTRACT out of the way first, which is why I went with "Leaves". (and didn't even notice that TABLEs have leaves, whew! TABLE was actually going to be part of my Figures clue, as well). I actually was thinking PART as in "to part", i.e. the verb form of leaves. But PART of a tree also worked! And of course I didn't even think of bug, probably because I knew that was Avengers.

So then I really needed to tie GUITAR with something I had hoped you'd guess MILLIONAIRE before CONTRACT. (basically I was trying to think of a rich guitarist - and I didn't notice the CREAM connection, so got lucky there)

"Figures" was the hail mary, but I do think fit the remaining clues: first, had to re give something for MILLIONAIRE, as the +1 was needed for PART; so figures as in numbers. Then SHADOW was easy, and  people look at their figures in a MIRROR. DREAM was maybe a stretch, but they seems hazy and figure like (and I didn't see any connection at all with any other words).

(and if TABLE was a still unguessed, I was thinking a figure is related to TABLEs in scientific papers and all)

Had we had one last turn, I would've gone with "Shattered": 2 for MIRROR and DREAM

Yeah it was a hard one. I think I generally followed you on Figures, and if I had guessed one more it would have been dream or mirror.

Leaves=part is really clever, so nice job there.

I think it was a hard board for us and we did fairly well all told.

Welcome back Jimmmmm!

So CASTLE for sure.

After that? Let's see, I'd associate throne with kings, queens, royalty and chairs.

How about Atlantis? For King Neptune? (a stretch but everything seems like a stretch here)

Or maybe Novel for Game of Thrones? (any other GoT references)
