We play on-line Codenames with some friends once a month. We play guys vs. girls, and always joke about how different the clues are.
Girl clues tend to be more...abstract and we get the answers by thinking 'this is kind of like something'. Guy clues are much more technical and knowledge based.
Tonight's first game had some especially good clues. The first one was 'pit boss' and we weren't 100% sure what it was. We got a few good answers though. A few clues later we had 'boll weevil' which we also didn't really know. We talked about it a little and ended up with the words 'disease' and 'maple', neither of which are described by a boll weevil. We finished the the game by the other two girls feeling 'platypus' in their hearts. We talked ourselves into that word and won the game! It was awesome!
(In other news, Isaac was sick today. He laid on the couch pretty much all day. I offered him some screen time and he refused. He told Ben to stop screen time after a bit. The laying around was the main clue he was sick, but it was confirmed with the screen time.)
