CodeNames — увлекательная командная игра для компании друзей. Разделитесь на две команды и попробуйте первыми найти все свои слова на игровом поле. Один игрок становится шпионом и даёт подсказки одним словом, а остальные пытаются догадаться, какие слова скрываются за ним. Каждое решение может приблизить к победе или привести к поражению, если выбрать слово соперников или наткнуться на слово-убийцу. Простая механика, напряжённые партии и бесконечное количество комбинаций делают CodeNames идеальной игрой для вечеринок, где важны ассоциации, логика и чувство команды.
