(But do not forget that you also used a token on the last, victorious turn). Each group takes turns seeking to guess the secret identities of their own agents, working off of a single word clue from their spymaster.

You might also want to allow homonyms and other word play. Boy: 2 is not strictly related to the meaning of SUN, but it could be a good clue for SUN and BROTHER.

If you’re totally new to the game, I’d suggest starting with original Codenames, as its game play is simpler—unless you anticipate only having two players available, in which case Codenames Duet is the way to go.

This, this is my Codenames. I admit I was skeptical at first. More Codenames? Blah. But there is something about Codenames: Duet that really elevates it above its predecessors for me.

Your partner takes time to look at all the words on the table. Then he or she makes a guess by touching one of the word cards. Codenames starts with a five-by-five grid of cards, each card is printed with a single word. Players of four or more divide into two teams, the red team and the blue team. One member from each team per round is designated as the clue giver or, as the rule book calls it, “spymaster.” If you love Codenames, you’ve probably thought about getting one of the other versions of the original game.
