<p>Okay. Only thing I'm really comfortable with when it comes to Beetles is Bug.</p><p> </p><p>

Beyond that, things get messy. The next most natural answer would seem to be Band because of The Fab Four. But that seems like it could be a Coat Czech on Tabletop issue.</p><p> </p><p>

Other thoughts are Head as in "would lice be considered Head Beetles" and Trunk as a nod to the elephant Beetle. But those two feel kind of rubbery to me.</p>

<p>Bad luck SF, sorry that ended up happening. But this was a fun game, thanks for playing everyone. Sorry it got less active recently but Ray and I tried to keep it updated when we could.</p><p> </p><p>

Both teams were neck and neck throughout the game so this one was going to go to the wire. In the discord, I was even talking with Ray about how good his Water clue was and the huge luck that was the "horse" guess since it wasn't intended but was also a blue word.</p><p> </p><p>

Here is the full board with answers as to which words were associated with which team.</p><p> </p><p>

<p>Oh, and here is my team's hint breakdown.</p><p> </p><p>

Seuss - 2</p><p> </p><p>

Green</p><p>

Ham</p><p> </p><p>

Cappyboy nailed it immediately.</p><p> </p><p>

Russian - 2</p><p> </p><p>

Roulette</p><p>

Revolution</p><p> </p><p>

Again, Red Team was quick to figure this one out.</p><p> </p><p>

Beetles - 3</p><p> </p><p>

Bug</p><p>

Forest</p><p>

Band</p><p> </p><p>

The words I had remaining at this point was Bug, Forest, Pupil, Band, Boot. With Blue's crazy 4 point play in one round, I felt like we needed at least 2 points to keep this game competitive. Red team caught on to the Beetles/Beatles thing I was going for. With ground (a blue word) gone I was comfortable throwing this out and hoping you all might get 2 out of 3. Which is exactly what ended up happening.</p><p> </p><p>

If the game was still going, I'm not sure what I would've done to be able to get Forest and Pupil in one turn. I'd probably tried for just pupil and had hoped you all would go back to the Beetles clue. But this one was definitely going to be close.</p>
