Abby LuckettHOST
We've been
Ryan LuckettGUEST
playing Codenames a lot.
Abby LuckettHOST

Ryan LuckettGUEST

DaneHOST
Another board game.
DaneHOST
Codenames.
DaneHOST
Oh, Codenames.
DaneHOST
Can I get next door?
SamuelHOST
I'm going to go...
The QuizzardHOST
Question five.
The QuizzardHOST
In the card game Codenames, how many word cards are laid out on the table before starting? 25.
The QuizzardHOST
If you go for one word at a time in code names, you are a coward.
The QuizzardHOST
Question six.
Amanda WongHOST
Yeah.
Amanda WongHOST
I think I'm going to choose, my next one's going to be Codenames, Critical Role Adventures for two to four players.
Amanda WongHOST
Designer, I apologize for pronouncing your names wrong.
Amanda WongHOST
I think it's Vlada Chivalti and Felix Pon...
Amanda WongHOST
but it's published by CGE or Czech Games Edition.
Amanda WongHOST
And this is the fully cooperative version of Codenames.
Amanda WongHOST
So normal Codenames is played in teams.
Amanda WongHOST
And so you have one who's the codemaster, and then they are trying to get their teammates to guess correctly.
JPHOST
And I kind of didn't fancy it with me feeling a bit rough.
JPHOST
So we played the Codenames.
JPHOST
We played this little bad boy.
JPHOST
And I have to say...
JPHOST
This Little Bad Boy is the best codename games I've ever played.
JPHOST
And I was talking to CG about this.
JPHOST
It's actually like Codenames Critical Role Adventures.
JPHOST
And we think it should be the other way around.
Joey EvansHOST
Yeah, that's a better way to do it.
Tom VaselHOST
So the Codenames app, which continues to get more and more popular, now has Codenames Duet.
Tom VaselHOST
So this has not been out? I
Joey EvansHOST
haven't used the
Tom VaselHOST
app.
Tom VaselHOST
So the app was just normal Codenames, while also with a lot of variations on Codenames.
Tom VaselHOST
But now Codenames Duet is a very different game.
Tom VaselHOST
Okay, yeah.
Connie VogelmannGUEST
It's one of the simplest premises of all time, but it's It's brilliant and it's a hit with just about every group.
Connie VogelmannGUEST
You have something like Codenames that takes a really good sort of spin on, you know, kind of a deduction puzzle.
Connie VogelmannGUEST
The Crew, like, what if you had trick-taking but cooperative? Like, why did that not exist until a few years ago? And I'll also put Ito in there as well, I-T-O.
Connie VogelmannGUEST
It's basically numbers on a line.

20 MINS LATER
RobHOST
And I will
BrandonHOST
report back once I start playing.
BrandonHOST
Well, no one gave me any games, but we handed out a giant can of whoop ass on Codenames Live.
BrandonHOST
Rob,
Paul GroganHOST
I played it a lot when it came out.
Paul GroganHOST
I've got 56 plays of Codenames.
Paul GroganHOST
It's probably more than that, to be honest.
Paul GroganHOST
I've got 54 plays of Lost Cities.
JustinHOST
Maybe as you go, is there one game, I don't quite know for this, but is there one game that you would recommend everyone to just, hey, you got to play this?
KevinHOST
Yeah, I feel like at this point, a game like Quacks of Quedlinburg or even Codenames.
KevinHOST
Yeah, Codenames is the game I was thinking about.
KevinHOST
I played Codenames today and somebody hadn't played it and it literally boggled my mind that they hadn't played it.
JustinHOST
Yeah, because Codenames is a thing that I'm even surprised of like people who don't play board games very much if they haven't played it.
JustinHOST
I'm just like, oh, yeah,
KevinHOST
I don't play it much at all these days, but Codenames is
JustinHOST
the major one I'm thinking about.
