In Codenames, players transform into an operative and a master spy

One game of Codenames will take you 15 minutes. First, the players are divided into two teams of approximately equal strength, representing the spy units. One will be red and one will be blue. Each team then chooses its main spy. He's the only one who knows the identity of all the agents. The other players represent operatives, i.e. field workers. The spies sit on one side of the table and the operative sits across from them.

The black box in the game Codenames represents a found killer

Before starting the game, the Codenames must be shuffled and then spread out 25 cards in a 5×5 grid. Then the spies draw lots and place a key card in the rack in front of them. They'll do it in a way that no operative can see her. The key card is formed by a 5 × 5 grid of coloured boxes. Red fields are guessed by agents from this team, blue fields are guessed by agents from the blue team. These are code names for these agents. There are also the beige fields of passers-by and the black field of the assassin.

The game of Codenames is immediately lost by the team that contacts the assassin

The rules of the Codenames party game are quite simple. The master spies are the only ones who know the hidden identities of all 25 people. Provide your team with clues using ciphers so that the situation leads to guessing words of their colour. But beware. The game is immediately lost by the team that contacts the assassin.

Deduction in the main role

In Codenames, teams of operatives try to decipher clues from master spies and then contact the appropriate people after touching a word with their fingers. The master spy subsequently discovers the true identity of the man who bore the code name. If the guessing team has guessed their agent, they can continue. Otherwise, it's the other team's turn. The team that manages to contact all of their agents first wins the game of Codenames.

Nabízíte 2 varianty a nikde nevidím popis čím se to liší. "Krycí jména" a "Krycí jména - obrázky". V čem se to liší a proč je tam různá cena. Díky

Dobrý den, chtěla bych se zeptat kolik je karet v "krycí jména" a kolik v "krycí jména XXL". Natálie

Dobry den. Chcem sa spytat vsade sa pise ze cielom hry je na zaciatku zostavit 2 timy a v nich 2 velitelov...hra je urcena od 2 hracov a my sme traja...tak potom aky system je mozny pri hre 3 hracov?

Dobrý den, na různých fórech jsem dostal různé odpovědi,.. Liší se nějak hry "Krycí jména" a "Krycí jména XXL" kromě fyzické velikosti karet? Například nové názvy, rozšíření, více karet,..? Velice děkuji, Michael.

Dobrý den,píší velice nespokojen. Dnes ,tj.30.12.2016,jsem si byl vyzvednout zboží na pobočce v Kladně. Za prosklenou vitrínou,kde nabízíte zákazníkům zboží, vidím hru Krycí jména s cedulku VÝPRODEJ a cena 349,- Kč. Z původních 499,-. Tak si vyčkám ve frontě, hru si vyžádám a je po mě chtěno 449,-Kč. Je to matení zákazníka a ten má právo chtít zboží za cenu uvedenou. Jak je tedy možné, že mi nebylo na pobočce vyhověno? ! Jak tomu mám rozumět? Prosím o odpověď. A vyhovění!

Dobrý deň, Chcel by som sa opýtať, či túto hru, ktorú máte v ponuke, máte lokalizovanu v Českej alebo Slovenskej reči, ďakujem :-)
