🕵️ The principle of Codenames: find the right words, avoid the assassin

Two teams, one spymaster on each side, a grid of 25 words . The goal? Get your team to guess the right words without causing them to run into the assassin.

But be careful:

• Your clue must be a single word , accompanied by a number.

• The team has to interpret correctly… and that’s where it gets complicated 😅

It's subtle, clever, and super fun with several people. And each game is completely different .
