The two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 Agents. Their teammates know the Agents only by their code names. The teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their Agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that can point to multiple pictures on the board. Their teammates try to guess the pictures of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to avoid the assassin. Code names pictures: win or lose, it’s fun to figure out the clues.

A more accessible version of Codenames The original Codenames is a great game – easy to learn and plays well with 2 to 10 players (best with 6/8). However, it is obviously a language dependent game. In fact, most word games with clue cards (Telestrations, Pictionary, etc) are difficult to find in any language but English. What makes Codenames Pictures great is it’s the same game – same rules – but now it is accessible to players in any language. Definitely recommended.
Great iteretion of a nice game Great iteretion of a nice game. The change from words to pictures reduced most of the language dependency to play with foreigners (the still need to know the meaning of the clues). I believe it is more difficult to connect more cards, and that is a good challenge. I think it is one of the best party games of the moment.
This is a fantastic family game This is a fantastic family game. Lots of interactions. I have the word edition too. With this edition you can involve younger children!!! Loads of fun.
