Codenames: Great for Large Groups
In this game, players take on the role of secret agents on two opposing spy teams. Your mission is to uncover which secret codenames belong to the agents on your team. The game is played using a 5-by-5-inch grid of cards, with a codename listed on each card. Each team has a spymaster who knows which codenames belong to his or her team and which names belong to the opposing team. The spymasters take turns giving one-word clues to their teammates to help them identify the right codenames in the grid of cards. The first team to correctly identify all of their side’s codenames wins.
