Codenames

Description

Two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates only know the agents by their CODENAMES.

In Codenames, the two teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues followed by the number of words that clue relates to on the board. Their teammates then try to guess words of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. If you guess the assassin, it’s game over for your team.

Win or lose, it’s fun to figure out the clues.
