This game is so much fun for both people who have and have not played the original Codenames word game.Basic idea: you have a bunch of cards with random photos on it. The best way to describe the cards is as if you had a random word generator, generated two words, and made it a THING. For example, ice and horse. You get an ice horse, or a horse slipping on ice in a photo. Then you lay out a random set of picture cards in a 5 x 4 arrangement on a table. A codemaster card is drawn which has red, blue, neutral, and one black tile labeled that coordinates to the 5 x 4 arrangements, which is randomized on each card so there are tons of options (think of this like a "key" to the map where the map is the board). 2 people get to be "codemasters" who will each pick out a team and delegate out one clue to by taking turns. The clue is typically one word and a number (indicating how many photo tiles are related to their word clue). The team that is able to guess all of their team's pictures (red or blue team) first wins. It gets fun and ballsy to see risky plays where someone tries general clues and says there are 4-6 tiles related to it. Promise its fun for groups of all sizes. Kids can play too. We play at home with friends and with friends at work during lunch all the time, and the Codenames series has been the favorite for both people who do and do not normally play board games. It is so easy to pickup and introduce new players and to make new friends within a group.Additionally, this game has so much replay value, between the different tile card photos, different players, different people as Codemasters, and different options for code tiles. I honestly even think you could mix and match with regular Codenames and Undercover Codenames to expand it all into one big deck. It is a little harder to work on large teams with a big group of people unless you all sit really close. Since there are no words, you have to point at the picture of the card and not touch it to generate discussion with friends and this is a little harder than saying a word (as it was in the original game). Not that this is a bad thing, but it is better with groups of people who are smaller than 8 I would say and who are sitting relatively close together. I think it is the most fun with 6-8 people. 4 can be too small since it feels very 2 vs. 2, with no one to discuss with. I recommend to get both this game and the original Codenames, both are fun in their own ways and bring fun to the table.

Este juego es maravilloso, pone a volar la creatividad de todos los participantes y permite hacer equipos bastante grandes, por lo cual nadie se va a quedar sin jugar

Great game, makes you really think. Lots of fun and laughter when we play as a family. For kids ages 10+.

I’m not really a board game kinda guy but boy this was introduced to me and my wife by her sister and husband we had such a great time that we bought it and introduced to my siblings now my sister has bought the game. Trust me You won’t regret the purchase

The original Codenames is a very popular social deduction game. It is one that I have bought for my relatives who would never play something like Dominon but who were looking for a light, entertaining game to play with friends.Codenames Pictures is basically the same game but with fewer cards in play which speeds up game play while making the play more complex and the cards show pictures instead of words. Many people find the pictures to be easier to play with than the original game with words. The game can be played with four or more people and although four is good because it works well, larger groups add more energy and fun to the game.To play, you lay out a grid of 5 x 4 of the picture cards on a table top. The picture cards each have an image on them. Those playing form two teams and each team chooses a clue giver who draws a clue giver card. Each of these cards has a grid that corresponds to the picture cards which have been laid out. It shows neutral cards, the major spy card, and the blue and red cards. Each player gets a tile.During each turn, the clue giver gives a one word clue about the card that his or her team should pick up based on the clue card. The clue will correspond to the picture on the card that the clue giver hopes that team will choose. The teammates talk it over and choose a card. If they pick the correct card, then the clue giver puts a token with their team color on that card. The same team can then go again. But, if they choose the card which belongs to the other team, then a token with the other team's color is put on the picture card and the turn is over. If the major spy card is chosen, then the game is instantly lost. This goes on until *. The winning team is the one with the most cards claimed.The game is very entertaining and because the game play is quick, you can play several games quickly so that people can learn as they go.
