Codenames (engl.)

Description

Codenames (engl.) is a family game for 2 to 8 players aged 14+ with a playing time of 15 to 20 minutes. Two rival spymasters give one-word clues to help their teammates guess secret agents by their codenames while avoiding opponents and the assassin. It supports lively discussion and includes a cooperative variant for solo play.

Codenames is a social word game with a simple premise and challenging game play.

Two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates know the agents only by their codenames. The teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the table. Their teammates try to guess words of their color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to avoid the assassin.

The game works very well with 4 players if you prefer to guess without help. Or you can add more players if you prefer lively discussion. There is also a cooperative variant where a single team tries to achieve the highest score they can by playing against the game itself.
