Description

The game "Code Names" is a team-based word game where players must guess the words that refer to their secret agents based on single-word clues given by their spymaster. Each team competes to be the first to identify all of their agents on the 25-word grid, but they must be careful not to choose the assassin, as that would end the game immediately with that team's defeat. The spymaster will call out a number, which will tell their teammates how many code names are related to that clue. The field agents will try to guess which word or words their spymaster is referring to. When an agent touches a word, the spymaster will reveal their secret identity. "Code Names" is a competitive team-based board game that combines intrigue and deduction, where two teams of spies must uncover their secret agents before the opposing team. The leaders of each team know the agents' secret identities, but the other players only know their code names. The game involves giving clues consisting of a single word and a number for your teammates to guess the correct words on a 5x5 grid. How to Play Setup: Place a 5x5 grid with randomly placed word cards on the table. Divisions: Divide into two teams, and each team chooses a leader (spy chief). Code Card: Only the leaders can see a code card that tells them which words belong to their team, which belong to the opposing team, which are neutral civilians, and which is the assassin. Turns: In turn, the leader of each team gives a clue consisting of a single word and a number. The word is the clue, and the number indicates how many words on the table relate to that clue. For example, "animal: 3" indicates that there are three words related to an animal. Guessing: Teammates must guess the correct words. If they guess correctly, they can try again (up to a number of times equal to the clue number plus one). Mistakes: If a team guesses a word belonging to the opposing team or a civilian, their turn ends. If they guess the assassin, they lose the game immediately. Victory: The first team to correctly identify all their words wins.

Code of Secret is a game that blends intrigue, espionage, and secret codes. Step into the shoes of a spy and discover the identities of your teammates! This eminently competitive team game requires collaboration between members of each side to achieve victory together. Code of Secret was released in 2015 and designed by the renowned Vlaada Chvátil (Galaxy Trucker, Through the Ages, or Mage Knight). Allows games for 2 to 8 players, with a suggested minimum age of 14 and an approximate duration of 15 minutes.

Players are divided into two teams, trying to balance skills and the number of people.

A standard game requires at least four players (two teams of two), although there are variations for two or three players. Each team chooses one player to be the spymaster. The two spymasters sit on the same side of the table and can see the positions of all the secret spies and the assassin. The remaining players sit opposite their spymasters and act as field agents. Between them, 25 cards with a single word are laid out, forming a 5x5 square. The spymasters take turns providing clues consisting of a single word. A clue can be related to several of the words on the table. The spymasters call out a number, which tells their teammates how many code names are related to that clue. The field agents try to guess which word or words their spymaster is referring to. When an agent touches a word, the spymaster reveals their secret identity. If it's one of their agents, they can keep guessing until they run out of ideas for the clue they've been given or until they point to someone who isn't on their team. If they guess incorrectly or stop, the opposing team's turn begins. The first team to contact all their agents wins the game. But... be careful! If they reveal the assassin's card, the game ends immediately, and the team that reveals it loses. The spymasters must avoid showing their emotions and simply state the clue and the number. The game has one last element: the hourglass. At any time, a player can activate the hourglass when they feel someone, or even themselves, is taking too long with their investigations. This makes the game much more dynamic! It attempts to compensate for the skill levels and number of players. Spanish edition. Suitable for competitive and critical players, as well as those who are more relaxed. 2 to 8 players. Playing time: 15 minutes. For ages 8 and up.
