The Codenames family has got a brand new member This time it&s a cooperative version for two (or more) players Each player must give clues to the other making the game more intense To win contact all the agents while avoiding the hidden assassins Mission maps allow players to take on progressively tougher challenges Clever clues are the key to completing your mission before the turns run out! Codenames Duet keeps the basic elements of Codenames — give one-word clues to try to get someone to identify your agents among those on the table — but now you&re working together as a team to find all of your agents (Why you don&t already know who your agents are is a question that Congressional investigators will get on your back about later!) To set up play lay out 25 word cards in a 5x 5 grid Place a key card in the holder so that each player sees one side of the card Each player sees a 5x 5 grid on the card with nine of the squares colored green (representing your agents) & one square colored black (representing an assassin) The assassin is in different places on each side of the card & three of the nine squares on each side are also green on the other side! Collectively you need to reveal all fifteen agents — without revealing either assassin or too many innocent bystanders — before time runs out in order to win the game Either player can decide to give a one-word clue to the other player along with a number Whoever receives the clue places a finger on a card to identify that agent If correct they can attempt to identify another one If they identify a bystander then their guessing time ends If they identify an assassin you both lose! Unlike regular Codnenames they can keep guessing as long as they keep identifying an agent each time; this is useful for going back to previous clues & finding ones they missed earlier Players 2-4 Playing time 15-30 minutes Ages 11 ...
