I, too, am glad to be sitting out. I knew Candyland, but had never heard of Jadzia. Google says pokies are Australian video slot machines. I thought it was a jail, but that's pokey.

Probably meant for CASINO, PLAY, KIWI (doubly refered to by the fact it's an Aussie/Kiwi word, and as a fruit for the "fruit machine").
Which would make it a good clue... providing you could be fairly certain your team knew the word. Which doesn't seem to be the case here (I didn't either). 
Lol @ the Codenames 38 Blue Team having Deceased for their final word, and doing everything in their power to not guess Washington. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!
I was convinced DATE was a word for Grounded. That's the first thing I think of when you say someone is grounded, no going on dates.

There is somewhat famously a village named Batman in Turkey. No idea if thrawn knows that or if that clue was coincidence, though he seems like the sort of person well-read in tangential pop culture references who would.
I have never heard of Gotham being Chicago. It is well known that Gotham is the nighttime representation of New York - Metropolis is the daytime version.

I guess the red team is lucky no one knew this reference, since Turkey was the assassin. (October 14th, 2020, 19:44)NobleHelium Wrote: I have never heard of Gotham being Chicago.

But the clue worked, which is the final criterion. (October 14th, 2020, 19:44)NobleHelium Wrote: I have never heard of Gotham being Chicago.

The Chicago thing is all Nolanverse due to filming locations. |
