Not accessible with screen reader
I couldn't even get past the initial screen I see buttons on there with low vision but the screen reader rates absolutely nothing at all even on the initial screen great so disappointing because board games are otherwise easier with vision issues. And I have played this game on zoom with SIGHTD friends reading stuff so the gameplay is definitely accessible but yeah very very disappointing

Great Game…But There Needs To Be Fixes
I just started playing this game a couple of days ago, and I love it! I really like the adaptation of the board game and the additions of side games and achievements. It makes for a captivating game that you can spend a long time on.
However, there is one issue that I have with this game which is the long wait times for a lot of the games. I mean some take hours to days to play. I know that the developers encourage to keep multiple games open so that you can play more, but I don’t that enjoy a whole lot. The reason why is that most of the games end up stalling near the last move and it clogs up the inbox. I would rather have games where I could complete all the way through with one play-through. So if there is a way to optimize the experience that would be great.
With all that I said, I do recommend this game if you are a fan of the board game since it is really fun to play! Just be aware of waiting for a while for some games.

Fantastic!
Really enjoy this game! Lots of opportunities for different words and challenges.
My only real issue is the verdicts. So many non-words get approved simply because “ish” or “like” are added as suffixes to real words. Like cubed > cubedish and webbing > webbinglike. In most cases, the actual English words are a fine clue. Cubedish doesn’t add much to the word cubed and you could use webbed or webbing instead of webbinglike. It’s a cheap way to add a potential modifier to a word. For example you can’t say “not x” or “non x” as a false prefix for something it’s not.
Why do people have such a hard time just sticking to the rules and English in these games?

Brilliant adaptation but read the reviews first!
It’s a great adaptation of the party game
BUT, I wish I had dug into the reviews before buying. There is some limited offline content but it is - as the devs say repeatedly in their responses here - primarily an asynchronous multiplayer game where your opponents will step away for apparently hours (days?) at a time
If you’re looking for a faithful adaptation to just fire it up and play a quick game this is not that

Love this game
We often play the board game Codenames with our friends. This is a great alternative when you don’t have 4 people. We play games when we camp. The board game doesn’t work in wind, but the electronic version is a great alternative.
