slack concept rules

Master: decide on a word, phrase, object, etc. Try to express it only with the available emojis.

While you don't strictly have to, it's generally very helpful for everyone else if you begin the clue with a type, followed by a colon (:package: for a physical item, :book: for something that is a book or is strongly associated with one, :speech_bubble: for a saying, etc)

Thus chess can be expressed, rather obviously, as
:game_die: : 8x :guardsman: :arrow_up: ( :crossed_swords: :arrow_upper_left: :arrow_upper_right: ), 1x :crown: :arrow_up_down: :left_right_arrow: :arrow_upper_right: etc

The master is allowed to say "yes" or "no" to people, and to post more clues or edit existing ones as needed, but speaking clues are discouraged otherwise (so "I edited the clue" is fine, but "I meant that as X" really isn't). Others try to guess what the thing is - the first person to say the correct word(s) (or get close enough for government work) wins the round.
