How to be a Spy.. Sort of 😞

CodeNames is a board game series that utilises using word association to pick out your team’s correct words (or pictures depending on which version you play) before the other team can.

This game relies heavily on communication and being able to understand your team mate with the limited amount of information they can give you.

Essentially the way to play this game is that once you are split into two even teams one person from each team will be the spy and have to attempt to give 1 One word hint with a number at the end of that hint for just that one turn to assist in the rest of the team picking the right cards, whichever team successfully picks all of their correct cards first wins BUT be sure your communication is on point otherwise you might give away enemy team cards or worse…

As in most games there are a couple of common obstacles that you will come across, one of the more common struggles are trying to match multiple cards to one word is incredibly hard for the person that has to give out the hint, but also make sure you avoid giving out the other team’s card’s too or reveal the spy card and lose immediately (👈 that’s the worse I was talking about earlier 😬) .
