## Description

From the manufacturer Codenames by Vlaada Chvátil The 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 board. Their teammates try to guess words of the right colour while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to avoid the assassin. Codenames: win or lose, it’s fun to figure out the clues.

You need at least four players (two teams of two) for a standard game, although there are 2 and 3 player variants. Each team chooses one player to be their spymaster. Both spymasters sit on the same side of the table. The other players sit across from their spymasters.They are field operatives. 25 codenames are chosen and placed on the table in a 5-by-5 grid Each game has one key that reveals the secret identities of the cards on the table. The spymasters choose a key card randomly and don't let the field operatives see it. Spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents.Their teammates know the agents only by their codenames. Spymasters take turns giving one-word clues. A clue may relate to multiple words on the table. The field operatives try to guess which words their spymaster meant. When a field operative touches a word, the spymaster reveals its secret identity. If the field operatives guess correctly, they may continue guessing, until they run out of ideas for the given clue or until they hit a wrong person. Then it is the other team's turn to give a clue and guess. The first team to contact all their agents wins the game. "Codenames is a deep game with simple rules, it’s tense and silly at the same time, and it’s fun when you’re winning and even better when you’re losing." - Shut Up & Sit Down "Codenames is a fascinating game." - Opinionated Gamers Codenames Wins the 2016 Spiel des Jahres Codenames from designer Vlaada Chvátil and publisher Czech Games Edition has won the 2016 Spiel des Jahres, Germany's game of the year award, which is intended to highlight an outstanding design that would be ideal for German families — and if you happen to belong to a family of some other nationality, there's a good chance that you'll enjoy the game as well.

Review: Amazing game!! Love it - Fantastic Party Game for Family and Friends! We've had Codenames for a while now, and it's become one of our absolute favorite games to playespecially during weekend family dinners or when friends come over. It’s fun, clever, and always leads to lots of laughs (and some friendly competition)! The graphics are great—clean, bold, and easy to read. The overall design makes the game feel polished and modern without being over-the-top. The card quality is impressive too. They're not flimsy or too thin, which is something I really appreciate since we play it often. They’ve held up well over time. What we love most is how the game brings everyone together. Whether it’s just four of us or a bigger group, it’s always a hit. It’s a perfect balance of thinking and guessing, and it never gets boring since the words change every time. Great value for money Highly recommend for families, game nights, or anyone who enjoys a smart, interactive party game!
Review: Clever word game suitable for small parties and families. - I'd heard on a popular board gaming web site for geeks that this was a particularly good game, ideally for larger parties but also playable for even just two players. I actually own a similar independently created card game called "Trix" which has a similar concept of linking words. The basic idea is that 25 cards are laid out (out of quite a large selection of double sided cards) each with a noun on it. A team consists of one person who is trying to convey a message/hint to their team members. They can provide a one word clue and indicate how many of the 25 cards they feel relate to that one word. Only 6 or 7 of the words actually are wanted by each team, the rest are either the opposing teams' cards or are innocent bystander cards. One word card is an assassin and loses the game instantly for any team that picks it. I won't give you the entire rules now, they are available online anyway if you want them. This game is clever in the way it takes a simple game that takes minutes to learn and is basically a form of charades with more intelligence and direction, and themes it nicely into a spy game. When I first got it, I couldn't wait to give it a go, so I immediately tried a 2 player game (not recommended particularly) and this was just OK and I could see why although it's just about playable, it's not a good idea. I then tried it as a four player game and it was already much much more enjoyable, we played it 6 times in a row (each game usually lasts about 20 minutes or so) We haven't tried it yet with more players, but it is immediately obvious why adding more players would make it very interesting and add an element of argument/discussion within teams that could be entertaining as each team member may have a different opinion of how a word relates to another (does Star relate to "Flag" more or less than it relates to "Fish" or "Night" for example) All in all, this game deserves its good reputation. It's not a sit around for hours board games with loads of complicated rules that you only understand after finishing the game. It's a quick and easy, get up and running fast and enjoyable family / party game.
