I love following these popcorn , particularly when they get hard/confusing. I'd probably be awkward as a player: I see only half of the obvious connections and my mind puts all sorts of weird stuff together that makes no sense to anyone else; for example, I saw "AIR" before "WATER" for "torpedo"last game because some torpedoes use compressed air to launch.

I'm 100% on BOOM and OPERA at this point, so I don't think it's a big deal which gets picked first, but we should pick both, and STRING after that. If all of those were blue we can talk about MOSCOW.

The fundamental theorem of Codenames: The goal isn't to connect words, the goal is to guess what the spymaster is trying to clue.

I must have been in too big a hurry when I tallied; I thought Moscow was unanimous so I already pointed to it.

Anyway, it does look like we have agreement* on this:
Point to OPERA
Point to BOOM
Point to STRING

*with Commodore reserving the right to say he told us so

Sink, and... Boom? That's a part of a boat, but I'm confused as to why Lew would clue it when there's every reason to expect Blue Team to guess it next turn...


I guess Smuggler could also work.


Probably Agent for the last word, unless we think Opera was intended as part of "pitch".



Also, I'm fairly certain Lew is American, he just lives in China.
