Codenames, a party game suitable for 2-8 players, will see you working alongside your teammates and nominated spymaster to work out where your fellow agents are in the field, while also making sure to avoid the innocent bystanders and the dangerous assassin! Czech Game Edition's Codenames is a fantastic, easy to play word association game that sees players split into two teams, each team having a nominated spymaster. These spymasters are given a grid that details the exact location of all their agents in the field. It is up to those spymasters to communicate the locations of the agents to their teammates however there is one big catch!The locations are all associated with words and the only way to communicate these is to give one word clues! Once a clue has been given, it's up to the team to work out which words the spymaster is trying to communicate to you. If you select a correct word, then well done, you’ve found a fellow agent! Be careful though, select a wrong word and one of three things can happen! You could have mistaken an innocent bystander for an agent, a rather foolish thing to do! You could have found on of the other team's agents which will simply give them the upper hand! But worst of all, you could find the dangerous assassin. Find him, and it's game over for you my friend! Work together to find all your agents and you will be victorious and successfully complete your mission! This game will have you on the edge of your seat and be careful because when you think you’ve found the word, you may just start second-guessing yourself! Codenames is a great party game and one that has grown in popularity massively! It's an essential game for anyone's collection and one that is sure to be a hit with all! Player Count: 2-8 Time: 15 Minutes Age: 14+

#222146: I love Codenames, it's easy to see why it has won so many awards. Our games tend to get tense and highly competitive. Games can be as long or short as you make them, there really is no time limit. Highly recommend as must own game for any games session.

Codenames is a great word game to win over friends and family. Both teams assign a clue giver for the round who will try to link as many of their words together as possible using a one word clue. It sounds like it’s easy but in practise you will always want to give more clues than you potentially can. Just because you think they are obvious links doesn’t mean anyone else does! Great fun!

Bought this as a birthday present. It was loved by all as we warmed up with drinks, which definitely led to some very skeptical word association.
