I don't see why rhyming is out? Nor real words that are anagrams of the start of a few words, or words that make up other words etc...

Doesn't making the clues have to reference the answers directly make it a bit... Limited.

I'm thinking more like only connect rather than jeopardy.

I'm just going by the 'official' rules as supplied in the bought game. And rhyming is in the "Flexible rules" section, because it does rather contradict the main rule of
"Your clue must be about the meaning of the word".

If people want it, I'm happy. As before, I'm really only here so that if the two spymasters disagree, they have an not-impartial arbitrator to stamp down a foot of justice.

I hate to tell you this, but you've ended up on Myps team. And Curios.

You probably stand the better chance of winning anyway, given the other team.

Thinking about it, there's no reason we couldn't play this with three teams rather than two. You just convert most of the grey words to another team. Then the smaller teams might be able to go faster without feeling they are leaving anyone out of the discussion, and 50% more people get the knuckle-biting joy of being the captain.

Would it not slow down the play from the team's point of view, though, being that they'd have to wait for TWO other teams to complete their round before having another go?

I still don't know why I convinced myself that bears didn't have tails. Not like I've proclaimed my ursine fandom here in the past.

I was more concerned that youthought a penguin was a mammal

And that Myp(?) thought a croissant was a tail.
