A very fun game with lots of replay value. There are loads of words included in the box- all double sided. As these can be pulled in any combination, and then assigned to each team in any combination, you are guaranteed to never have the same game twice.
It's also quick to set up, easy to learn and quite quick to play too - you can play in groups, rather than being limited to 2 players per team, so is good for larger groups or groups with an odd number of people.
Only problem is, it can get pretty tense - especially under pressure when you realise that you and your partner/friends are on totally different wavelengths. Your relationships may never heal, but you'll probably have fun along the way.
I have had very successful games of Codename with large groups of people of varying experiences and small groups of similar experiences.
Where it doesn't work so well is with small groups that aren't on the same wavelength- which unfortunately means that it doesn't work as a family game for us.
It was our first visit. We were delighted to visit this place. Staff was very helpful, explained us different games. Gave good suggestions. Definitely recommend this place. Bought two games - CodeName and Ticket to Ride
Great as ever.
Collections: Card Games, Party Games, The Asmodee Collective
Type: Party Game
Category: Deduction, Memory, Partnerships, Pattern Recognition, Press Your Luck, Spies/Secret Agents, Word Game
Two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates know the agents only by their CODENAMES.
In Codenames, two 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 color 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.
