Description
Get into a deep undercover role with the Codenames party board game, designed by Vlaada Chvátil. In this Czech games edition key card game, two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates know the agents only by their code names given on the cards. 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 words on the grid board.

Q: Are there refill cards for Codenames? We love the game and have used the same cards over & over.
submitted by Techie - 4 years ago
A: Hi there- no, there are not refill cards for Codenames. However, there are several alternative Codenames versions (like Codenames Pictures) that you can purchase to switch things up!

Q: Is this game any fun for 2 players ?
submitted by BOOP - 6 years ago
A: No; you need a minimum of 4 players. The point of the game is to beat your opponent by giving clues to your team so that they're able to guess your collection of words before the other team guesses all of your opponent's words.

Fun game to play with family/friends. Easy to learn and doesn’t require much strategy. Never the same game twice and they have an awesome online platform to play as well. We play remotely with family and friends who live in other states and they’re aren’t many games you can do this with

This game is so fun! It’s a great mental challenge but people of all ages can play and enjoy it! Endless possibilities of how the board can be arranged- you’ll pretty much never run out. It’s not like a trivia game where you may end up knowing all the cards.
Fun game!
