CodeNames

Find the right code names

Codenames is a game of association of ideas for 2 to 8 players (or more!) in which, divided into two teams, you play as either a spy master 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 Spy Masters and take care not to contact an enemy informant, or worse ... the fearsome assassin!

Principle of the game :

The two Spy Masters know the identities of the 25 Informers on the table, but their Agents only see their Code Name. The teams compete in ingenuity to be the first to contact all their Informants. For this, the Spy Masters give one and only one index word that can designate several Code Names on the table. Their Agents therefore try to guess the Code Names by 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 its Informants wins the game.
