EFHW, I really tested your trust with CARD being a wrong guess for the clue Joker. Sorry for that, and given the dud, your guesses were amazing.

My other option for first clue would have been Fortune 3, linking LUCK, SMILE and SOLDIER.

The Spotnicks, are, indeed, a BAND, and my attempt to link ALIEN and MOSCOW.

No big deal. What was our last word?

Must be soldier I suppose.
Which is funny, because for the 4th "Little" one I was picking between Luck and Soldier, which turned out to be both yours. Eevee's Ides clue persuaded me against Soldier (surely Rome, Soldier and March could have been clued together), which is why I went for Luck at that point. People say "a bit of luck"; do they ever say "a little luck"?

Was Thumb the 4th for "Little"?

Gg, I got to say, fang, you are an absolute beast at guessing! I'm amazed.
Thank you. It is the quality of the clues of course.

Good game all round. Overlapping a clue with a neutral word gets awkward if the neutral word is the first guess.
I had a game (I think Eevee was guessing my clues), where both teams hit neutral words on their first turns!

There were quite some traps, with SOLDIER and BAND being targets but MARCH of opposite colour, or FILM but not CAST.

I thought about giving Étrangère 2 instead of Clones 2 as clue for SOLDIER and ALIEN (for want of German composites like "Fremdenlegion". Yet I thought it might be challenged as just being the French translation of ALIEN.

Thumb indeed. I think a little luck is used, at least informally.

Generally I think clues in foreign languages are forbidden, unless it's a word also commonly used in english (something like schadenfreude). I would have balked at Etrangere, though it might be I'm just not aware of it's usage.

EFHW, when you are guessing, the last word is always soldier. :D

meh, figured a newborn kid is a reason to redecorate, at least one room. i might have been influenced by my first nephew/niece, due next month, and a big topic of discussion at the christmas table.

i have some leftover ideas for our next turn.
