Codenames

Publisher: Iello

french version

Codenames is an idea matching game for 2 to 8 players (or more!) in which, divided into two teams, you play as either a spymaster or an agent on a mission. To find out under which code name your informants are hiding, listen carefully to the clues given by the two Spymasters and be careful not to contact an enemy informant, or worse... the dreaded assassin!

The two Spymasters know the identities of the 25 Informants on the table, but their Agents only see their Code Name. The teams compete in ingenuity to be the first to make contact with all their Informants. To do this, the Spymasters give one and only one clue word that can designate several Code Names on the table. Their Agents then try to guess the Code Names of their color and avoid those of the other team. And above all, everyone wants to avoid the Assassin!

The first team to identify all of their Informants wins the game.
