Instead of trying to teach this game, I have been asking people to watch this video before we play. Your instructions are the most thorough and understandable I have found on the Internet. When I tried to explain it myself, I left out some things that weren't thought about until the middle of the game and I frustrated a new player. I have a lot of gratitude for you, as this is our game to take to friends' houses when they want to learn something new!! We definitely prefer it with 6 or 8 people instead of 4. We think that playing it with 2 or three people is silly unless you are using it as a vocabulary building game with kids or teaching English as a second language.

Unfortunately, my vision is not good enough to read the direction book. I love that I quickly found your video and you explained game play so precisely. We do lots of "majority rules" when deciding tricky rules with other games. For instance, Rummikub games made different years have different rules of how and when you can play the joker. I guess we'll have to discuss hyphenated words as clues for this game! Thank you so very much for taking the time to make this video. We are opening it tonight and not waiting for Christmas!

Great video and I appreciate it very much. I'm sure it's clear as day for most (and maybe even obvious) but for some reason I'm not understanding the "number" rule/purpose. I give a word clue (I get that part) and a number (I don't understand that part). Can you please help me understand?
@WatchItPlayed
3 жыл бұрын
No worries at all! The number is quite helpful because it gives the team an idea of how many potential words they should be looking for. It is also an important restriction because you are only allowed to give a clue that relates to the meaning of the word you are saying. So, you shouldn't say "Snow 6", unless there are 6 words that relate to the meaning of the word snow in some way. Hope that helps!

I played for the first time today. I twasn’t my game and I didn’t know the rules before hand. In the game I played, the Spymasters each made a list of their words related to their color and who the Assassin was. Is making notes like this for the Spymasters acceptable? Or is part of the “intrigue” for the spymasters the challenge of remembering their words?
@WatchItPlayed
6 жыл бұрын
They won't need to remember their words as they can see the code in front of themselves, but I don't see anything in the rules that would prohibit taking notes. In fact, the designers have suggested that players might take notes during their first few games, but eventually move onto memory. Whatever your players find comfortable is probably the best option, as long as nobody at the table feels like it breaks the spirit of the game!

Glad you liked the video and good question! The bystanders are there to make it harder to keep guessing - because if you guess one of them, you have to end your turn (even if you had more guesses left to make). It means the clue giver wants to be sure not to give a clue that might make you guess a bystander. It's not as bad as guessing the other teams spies (or the assassin!), but it still slows you down.

@WatchItPlayed
4 жыл бұрын
Hey Matt, the Double Agent is shown here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/q26IvXalqHyaqZw This is just given to whichever team is going first (they will always have an extra agent, to help balance out the fact that they get to go first). I can't say what would be more fun for you, or the people in your group, but I love being one of the spymasters. I think the solution to being blamed for giving bad clues, is to discourage the group from engaging in that kind of behavior (blaming teammates when things don't go their way). That said, every group is different, so not every game will work for every group - hopefully the video gives you a sense of it, for your groups tastes.

So once a spymaster gives a clue say for example water 1 and the get that word correctly guessed and their extra guess do they get to give another hint for another word giving them another turn my sister doesn’t believe me that once you guess twice you switch to the other team.

You never give more than one clue before the next players turn. So in the example you described, after Water 1 is given by Clue Giver #1 and their team has made a selection (or perhaps a bonus card pick if they decide to), then the other team goes and Clue Giver #2 gives THEIR team a clue. The same team never gets multiple turns. You'll find this detailed in the video, if that helps.

I see one problem. You said there were only 220 cards, right? Eventually the game would get stale if you played a lot with the same people because eventually you would know the clues and the cards associated. Are they coming out with more cards with different words on them? Hope you answer this.

It's important to remember: each time you play, you'll have a completely different combination of cards on the table, and different combination of those cards that you are trying to get your team to guess (and NOT guess). Even if you go exactly the same layout, that doesn't mean, you'd have the same words that need to be paired together. Do you know what I'm saying?

I’d like to play Codenames during Christmas. Is there a list of codes already made up that you know about ? Would it be too difficult to DIY ?

I don't know of a code already made up, but I would think you could do your own and people would enjoy it!

Could you please explain the purpose of the double-agent card? Thanks.

You'll find this shown here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/q26IvXalqHyaqZw - Basically, the team who goes first, has an extra agent, to help balance the advantage they have by going first. It's double sided, so you can just flip it to whichever color you need, depending on which team needs the extra agent. Hope that helps and happy gaming!

@@WatchItPlayed so basically instead of printing 9 agent cards for each color, they printed 8 and then the double-agent card is used as the 9th card by whoever is going first since they'd have one extra agent to guess... Got it 👍

Does the double agent card have any significance?

The team going first always has one extra agent, so this tile just allows you to always have an extra to give to that team. Otherwise it's treated like a regular agent.
