BaconWords 12+

Each round of BaconWords is a gastronomic journey where players savor the unexpected connections between bacon and everyday people, places and things. The challenge lies not just in understanding the literal definitions of words but in predicting the creative ways the AI might apply bacon-related terms to them. Will it associate the greasiness of a bacon burger with a slick raincoat, or perhaps with the dishonorable conduct of a slum lord? Does the smokiness of bacon-wrapped barbecue align more with the ethereal qualities of a misty landscape, or does it echo the intense and perilous undertones of a bank robbery fraught with explosive potential?

Developing a strategy for this game involves both a understanding of language and an insight into the AI's logic. The players need to think outside the box, draw on their intuition, and sometimes take a wild guess. As players get a feel for the AI's behavior over several rounds, they can start to anticipate its choices more accurately, making every match a learning experience.

In essence, BaconWords combines the pleasure of a word game with the thrill of strategy, adding a fun twist of guessing the AI's 'taste' in words. It's like a linguistic buffet that's both satisfying and challenging - a real treat for wordsmiths and bacon lovers alike.


***How To Play***

1. Start a round: The AI presents a bacon-related descriptor and 2-4 cards. Each player starts the game with three lives.

2. Analyze and choose: Think about how the descriptor could apply to each word, either literally or metaphorically, and select the word you believe the AI will choose.

3. Use your lifelines: If you're unsure, use a lifeline to remove half of the options, up to three times per game.

4. Score or survive: In single-player mode, earn points and achievements for correct matches. In multiplayer, outlast your friends by preserving your lives. If your selection matches the AI's, you continue to the next round. If not, you lose a life. High score wins in single-player mode, last player standing wins in multiplayer mode.
