Meh. I eliminated shadow for lights, and tick I pegged for your word after the measurement clue, but I didn't really have a good grip on our remaining clues. I thought nuts, like acorns and stuff could be found in the undergrowth (couldn't connect any other words there at least). For cacophony I would have probably gone for queen (the band), although I thought cacophony means noise that isn't in harmony, so wasn't feeling good about that at all.

Dunno! What were you going for? I would have been 50-50 between shadow and nut for undergrowth without the last clue.

It was shadow! I was hoping you would consider it the opposite/absence of light and take the 0 that way. I was also hoping to eliminate stuff like Paris (which is a noisy place, so maybe you were thinking about it for Cacophony) and Cross (the assassin).  I realized afterwards that you might reasonably associate Lights and Shadow instead and kicked myself for that, sorry.

Cacophony was for Racket. They are synonyms. It actually appears if you look up the definition on Google.

I do wish you had guessed instead of passed on the second to last turn, because I was lost on what useful clue to provide, everything was so different. Now I think maybe I could have done something like Mafia: 2 to get shadow and racket, but that uses a more obscure definition of racket and might hit on Cross...

Ah well, good game!

I passed, because I thought it'd be first priority to make their job as hard as possible so we'd get another turn and a shot to win. Didn't work out!

I'm randomizing a new grid for us.

New rule proposal: for simplicity and less obscurity, how about we eliminate all multi-word clues except for Dominion card/event/landmark names?

Oh sorry! Well, shuffling players it seems. My bad.

We can also re-do if you want of course, we got a bit of a ridiculous start here.

Pass.

I don't feel bad about the luck since we've lost the last couple games.  ;D

I'm not sure what "proper names" entails. I feel like single words are fine.
