Codenames is a social word game with a simple premise and challenging game play. Two rival spymasters know the name of the game identities of 25 agents. Their teammates know the agents only by their codenames. The teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that can point to more than one words on the table. Their teammates try to guess words of their color even as avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to steer clear of the assassin. The game works very well with 4 players if you desire to guess without help. Or you’ll add more players if you prefer lively discussion. There could also be a cooperative variant where a single team tries to succeed in the highest score they are able to by playing against the game itself.
Work together to contact your whole agents before the other team
