Let's pass it over to the yellows for now. This is all new, so i dont mind discussing it, but just to keep both teams involved, ill throw it over to the other team on alternate goes.

Sorry Blues!

Yellow, pick a letter please.

That's fair enough actually. I can't remember how it goes in the show. But for fairness sake I'm happy enough with this system.

Do we get a chance to answer and steal a hex if Blues get the answer wrong?

You're right.. amended!

FYI - Blockbusters on TV had buzzer system between contestants IIRC so makes this more difficult. Winner keep picking could be over too quick though I reckon.. essentially this is Blockbuster meets Connect 4!

Absolutely no clue what this could be.. trying to think of names for extreme winds and can only think of hurricane or cyclone.

Confer - any clue BJ or Guffy?

We are having an ongoing chat in our games workshop/brainstorm thread if you wanna pop your thoughts up!

Its hard to balance the tenseness(?) of a buzzer game with the practicalities of it being an on thread game.

Clue may have been a bit too obscure. As we are still feeling this out, im just gonna add in a bit i was debating to include.

What K is a southwesterly winter wind in Hawaii, often strong and bringing rain, as well as a brewing company/brand of beer from Hawaii.

Get thinking blues I sense a chance to steal

Baggly

Rest assured yellows, even if ye dont know, blues questions will be sufficiently obscure to keep things interesting. Im hoping it will be steals a go-go.

I hope you know this coz I don't!

Any chance Guffy secretly lives in Honolulu?

beakerjoe

Ive no idea about Hawaii bar Lilo and Stitch. I know Kona is a Hawaiian word from the wrestler Crush but I think thats just a general Hawaiian word.

Just a reminder its still with the yellow team. If blue guesses and its not your turn, im giving the block to the yellows (and vice versa for future reference).

Nope cant think of it

Guffy

I know there is a beer company alright but not sure is it kono or kona??

Id wait for Guffy.

The wrestler was Crush, a typical Surfer dude type character, I dont see a connection between stormy winds and the character.
