On this week's Overboard we're joined by Mari Takahashi, AKA AtomicMari. She's a correspondent on our Quibi show SPEEDRUN, and she's going to tackle Codenames with us - a game that's easy to play online, and great for quarantine!

I would love to hear about the design of the game.
At first glance it appears to be a simple concept but once you realize the setup of the game, the specific placement of cards and which ones go where. Making sure there is overlap between cards just turns it into a delicate balance to get right.

Has anyone else thought about how that theoretical last clue at 37: 50 would have been torturous? Like, rackets, spoons, and paddles are all handheld, not to mention nails being strongly related to hands. Plus astronauts bring to mind holding tethers if you're willing to stretch it
reply

30: 15 Bill is short for William, as in Prince William, married to Queen Elizabeth, avid Corgi supporter.
Edit: I realized that Prince William is not the Queen's husband, but rather her grandson. Her husband is Prince Phillip. I am mortified at my mistake.

As much as I love Simone, I think it says something about the uniqueness of her trains of thought that she was the only person to be on the losing side all three times. Or maybe it's just fighting against Pat and Jenna that does it.
reply

I know this was years ago, so who knows if they're still with the team, but whoever made the choice to show the viewers the whole board on the first round and leave us blind on the second round was a real chef's kiss call.
reply

How has NOBODY noticed that their talk of astronaut corgis distracted them so much that they picked 3 clues for corgi but then forgot that they picked a third already and picked a fourth?

19: 35
-I think there are too many other things that you drink in mugs-
She says to Brain David Gilbert.
The man who once said, and I quote, -there-s Red Bull in this mug, HEEYAA-

reply

For 18: 55, I would-ve played -hospital. - It risks the black card, but the other team is almost certainly going to win next round, so it-s no more dangerous than any other wrong guess.
reply

-there are other things that you can drink in a mug, like hot coffee- simone is still trying to cement the fact that she wouldn't put ice cubes in a hot beverage with every passing day.
reply

jenna going -i know _enough_ about homestuck to know that's impossible- after simone says pat's gonna explain the whole plot is EXTREMELY accurate as someone who has read homestuck
reply

What if anything does it say that my clue for balloon/patient would have been -Angioplasty- ie a minimally invasive procedure using a balloon to stretch open a narrowed or blocked artery
reply

I was a spymaster, and said three different clues: work (for Amazon, (Dairy) Queen, staff, file, office (file, staff, and wand (pole, staff.
They didn't get staff. :(

reply

i would argue memory is not a valid clue for memorial (since half of the letters are the same. yes they're two different words but it just doesn't look right
reply

Patient + Balloon: I'd say -Breath-, as in -how do you inflate a balloon- (obviously, and taking a deep breath when you need to calm down and be patient
reply

I love Simone insisting on Astronaut as if, should the words have been Alien and Astronaut, the hint could've been anything other than -SPACE-
reply

Half the corgi breeds are cardigans and have long tails. The other half are pembrokes and have a Bob tail.
My corgi is named: Sasami; )

reply

Codenames is one of my favourite games lately. The stress of the teams flirting with death in the first round of clue giver was hilarious!
reply

I'm proud to say that I also immediately made the same connection of Moo 2 = Noah bringing cattle onto the ark before Simone did
reply

I'm sorry but Mari is cheating for expressing the team's answers.
You're not supposed to react to whatever your team guesses.

reply

Last two red team cards in the first round (balloon and patient) I was SCREAMING for the hint word to be angioplasty -
reply

Clue: eye
-players immediately ignoring blind- well it could be glass.
Cat's eye is a type of gem
-facepalm-

reply

i feel like -memorial- wouldn't be a legal move since -memory- is on the board, the words are way too interlinked
reply

The Amazonians were absolutely human. But I guess that somehow yall were on the same wavelength, so go off.
reply

I was really thinking of squash growing like the pumpkin in Cinderella, growing so big into a carriage: )
reply

For balloon and patient he could-ve done -latex- for the gloves doctor-s use, and balloons being made of latex
reply

OMG the live action Cowboy Bebop on Netflix is so good! The corgi Ein is so cuuuute! I loaf heeem! ------
reply

A good clue for the second round would-ve been -Prower- for Mile and Tail if they were on the same team
reply

Alternative title: Clayton and Jenna suffer through their teams 50/50ing the assassin tile for like a round
reply

I played this game with my friends and got my team to say -macho- and -stout-. my code word was micropenis
reply

Already knew this was gonna be a horrible playthrough when they literally couldn-t see the word blind
