After finishing the first game here, I am organising a second round of this game.
I created a larger grid than the previous round, because why not, eh?
There are two teams, Blue and Red, each comprised of one team leader and a bunch of guessers.
If you want to join the game, feel free to say so in this thread, then you will be added to one of the teams as an additional guesser.
I generated the following 49 pictures (click to enlarge, a version with coordinates printed can be found below as well):
I have randomly generated the following teams:
Red Team Captain: @mafidufa
Red Team Guessers: @_Sofiam, @Leira
Blue Team Captain: @shinuito
Blue Team Guessers: @yebellz, @ArsenLapin1
The rules will be the same as last time, but I will repeat them below.
The Rules
Overview
There is a Blue Team and a Red Team.
There are 49 pictures, of which:
18 Blue pictures;
17 Red pictures;
12 Neutral pictures;
2 Dark pictures;
The goal of the Blue Team Guessers is to identify all the Blue pictures. The goal of the Red Team Guessers is to identify all the Red pictures.
The Blue Team Leader and Red Team Leader know which pictures are which, and will give hints to help their teammates.
If a team accidentally identifies the Dark picture, they lose.
Turn order
Teams alternate taking turns. A turn consists in two phases:
- The Leader gives a hint and a number. The hint must be a single word. The number must be between 1 and 9.
- The Guessers discuss, then make a guess by giving the coordinates of a picture in the grid or by passing.
- The Team Leaders or myself reveal the secret colour of the guessed picture.
If the number given as a hint is N, then phases 2 and 3 are repeated N+1 many times, until a colour is revealed which is not that team’s colour. For instance, if Red Team Leader has given hint and number “Buildings, 3”, then Red’s turn ends as soon as the Red Guessers have guessed 4 Red pictures, or have guessed 1 Blue, Neutral or Dark picture.
If a Team Leader is not certain whether the word they want to give as clue is really a word or not, they can ask the other Team Leader and myself by private message, and we’ll decide together.
Guessers should make it clear and explicit when they are guessing a picture, by stating it on a single bolded line, such as “Blue Team guesses A3.”. (Note that I haven’t yet generated the grid of colours as I am writing this example)
As soon as a Guesser makes a clear and explicit guess on a single bolded line, it cannot be undone, no matter whether the other Guessers in the team agreed with it or not.
Game end
Game ends when:
- all pictures of one team’s colour have been revealed: that team wins;
- or when the Dark picture has been revealed: the team who revealed it loses.
Communication
- Public communication between all Guessers is allowed and encouraged, here on this thread.
- Guessers should make it clear when they are making an official guess, as opposed to discussing their potential guesses.
- Private communication between the Guessers is forbidden.
- Communication from the Leaders is limited to what is explicitly allowed by the rules: giving the hint at the start of the round, and announcing the colour of a guessed word.
- Private communication in a 3-way private conversation between the 2 Team Leaders and myself is allowed.
- Discussion between guessers is strongly encouraged, as long as it’s public on this thread. Discussion from Leaders will be mostly forbidden as soon as I have sent the grid of colours.
