Codenames

Two teams, two spymasters and a table full of words. In Codenames it is all about that one perfect clue at the right moment. The spymaster knows which words belong to their team, but may only give a single word and a number as a clue. The rest of the team then has to guess which cards they mean. It is tense, because one wrong guess can hand the win to the other side. This new edition makes a much-loved classic even nicer to play. The word list has been refreshed, the artwork looks beautiful, and thanks to a handy insert you can find everything right away. The rules are clearer too, so you can start playing within a few minutes. Ideal for people who have known the game for years, and for anyone trying it for the first time. With 2 to 8 players, Codenames is perfect for a fun evening at home or a quick game in between. A round takes about fifteen minutes, but expect to ask for a second one straight away. The cheering when your team points at the right card and the groaning after a miss: that is what makes this game a party every single time.
