Good game!

The last 3 pages were such an emotional roller coaster!
I felt so dumb when Farren pointed out I could do TUNNEL 3 and then another hint for straw, and then I was like ughhhh when Farren had nailed 5/6 words but was considering IRON and LINE as the last word.

And then this:

LINE isn't a gimme. Tunnels can be set out in a line, but they aren't always. Plus LINE has casino equity (betting lines, line payouts on a slot machine).

STRAW is another possibility. Like a drinking straw - tunnels and straws are both hollow (always) and rounded (usually).

We can try straw

Idk I guess technically it can be consiedereda tunnel but more so than like a tunnel digging for iron or a straight line?

I do think line or paper is casino though

[Merlyn]

DANG I can't help but clap, that was crazy impressive!!!

[WhemeStar]

Holy farren is a god gg

[DragonEater70]

Agreed about Farren.

Btw, I've played this game a bazillion times, and this is like the second time ever I managed to give a clue for 4 different words and have them all guessed correctly. Feels good.

[Farren]

TUNNEL was definitely a gold-star clue there! And Unlimited did exactly what it needed to do there - if lilith can give a decent 2-clue for SHAKESPEARE and VET, then we probably don't get another turn to hit STRAW. (And for the record, she absolutely can.)

GG everyone!

[Cat Scratch Fever]

I'm down to run another game if there's enough interest

I can /in to even up the teams, but my availability over the next three days will be spotty. Feel free to reject this /in if the teams end up with an odd number of players, or if the game is starting shortly.

winged 4

[Merlyn]

bat, duck, robin for sure. For the fourth....Idk! Bow?

[Farren]

Without looking at the spoiler, here are my thoughts:
ROBIN - it's a bird. 'nuff said.
DUCK - ditto.
BAT - okay, not a bird, but still has wings.
KIWIs are birds, but I'm less certain about their wings.

Still, bats would be the explanation for why BIRD wasn't the clue. And I don't see anything else. Maybe SHIP, thinking along the lines of starships, but that's a stretch.

I'd say DUCK = BAT > ROBIN > KIWI.
