Overview

Codenames is a word-guessing party game designed for 4-8 players, where players split into two teams and try to identify words based on one-word clues given by their teammates.

The game consists of a grid of words, each associated with a number. Players take turns giving one-word clues that relate to multiple words on the grid. The team then tries to identify which words correspond to the clue given.

The twist in Codenames is that some words are 'assassin' words, which will eliminate all players on the team if identified incorrectly. This adds an element of risk and strategy to the game.

Codenames requires a combination of vocabulary, pattern recognition, and strategic thinking. It's a great game for parties and social gatherings, as it encourages teamwork and communication.
