Shoot, I think this must be a Britain thing.

crown for sure.

Is the apostrophe intentional?

I would act as if it were.

Yes.

Crown is blue

EFHW · « **Reply #182 on:** December 17, 2020, 04:21:04 pm »

Is there a King's pizza in England? Or a King's circle? Those are both round things, and a round clue would have included both, so if only one is blue that explains your not saying round for ball and orange and crown.

I am also completely unfamiliar with Dominion expansions from the last several years.

pass

Fork:2

KNIFE ...

phew. I am ruling out FINGER as no one would have let the connection with HAND and THUMB slip.

PIZZA → pass

Bread -> France

EFHW · « **Reply #188 on:** December 18, 2020, 08:26:53 am »

But did red just win? They have 7.

infangthief · « **Reply #189 on:** December 18, 2020, 09:29:21 am »

Blue and blue.
Red have 7 out of their 8, blue now have 8 out of 9.

EFHW · « **Reply #190 on:** December 18, 2020, 02:07:34 pm »

Ok, good. I can never remember if it's 7 and 8 or 8 and 9

I have to think some more about what to guess next.

circle

Eevee · « **Reply #192 on:** December 18, 2020, 02:28:55 pm »

STATE

State is red
Very good!

I was sure there'd be a clue I could give for Crown and Soldier. But couldn't think of a good one in the end. Maybe "Champion" would have been better.
Eevee your "Down" clue was really good. And you did well to get Hand and Thumb without Finger, and Knife and Pizza with Bread (I was leaving Bread till late because of that).
But what's the link from Miniature to Dragon? I thought for sure you'd made a mistake and ipofanes would go for Soldier there!

ipofanes · « **Reply #196 on:** December 19, 2020, 01:50:52 pm »

Well done Eevee!

I think the clue "King's with apostrophe" was a good one. Made me think of SOLDIER via the "all the King's men" association.

There was a song by Suzanne Vega about a queen and a soldier, but which single word could convey this.

We still would have been good with the guess I rejected, STATE.

All in all, an unspectacular match without scoops or glorious failures. The Bridge clue was a good start though.

Eevee · « **Reply #197 on:** December 19, 2020, 02:11:11 pm »

I thought fantasy themed miniatures, like Warhammer and whatnot were a closer association than soldier. It was a risk but I was struggling for clues, especially with the constraints I had with leaving certain words on the board (and hoping you'd somehow guess finger and make my life easy with hand and thumb).

Pretty fun board with state being red but France being blue (ruining my Italy-themed clue for pizza), and of course finger being neutral but hand and thumb being red. I was also leaving pizza and state because of bread and France.

Eevee · « **Reply #198 on:** December 19, 2020, 02:11:38 pm »

Your first clue was very impressive.

infangthief · « **Reply #199 on:** December 20, 2020, 05:32:37 am »

We had 4 Dominion card-shaped things (Bridge, Ball, Soldier, Crown), so I was tempted to try that, but then there were Hand and State (both red).

Other clues I considered:
Rolls: 3 instead of Spherical: 2, in order to include Bread. But I think Orange would be too much of a stretch there.
Louis: 2 for Crown and France.
