Rebel Card Game Party Codenames - Top Secret Word Game GR0745

Rebel Game Codenames – An Exciting Deduction Game for Teams!

Codenames is a thrilling party game where two teams compete to establish contact with all their agents as quickly as possible. The key role belongs to the Spymasters, who provide their team with clues in the form of a single word per turn. Players must correctly identify the codenames of their team’s agents while avoiding agents from the opposing team. The challenge intensifies with the presence of an assassin – uncovering their codename results in an immediate loss for the team.

Game Rules

Setup

1. Dividing into teams – Players split into two teams (red and blue). Each team selects a Spymaster who will provide clues. The remaining players act as field operatives.

2. Arranging the cards – A 5x5 grid of codenames is placed on the table. These codenames represent agents, innocent bystanders, and the assassin.

3. Choosing the key card – Spymasters draw a key card, which determines which codenames belong to each team. Only the Spymasters can see the key card.

4. Determining the starting team – One team is randomly chosen to go first. This team has one more agent to find than the opposing team.

Gameplay

1. Giving the clue

   In each turn, the Spymaster provides one word as a clue and a number that indicates how many codenames on the board relate to that clue (e.g., “Ocean 2” suggests that two words on the board are connected to the ocean).

2. Selecting codenames

   - The team discusses and decides which codenames they believe match the clue.
   - Once a decision is made, they touch the chosen codename to lock in their choice – "Touched, confirmed!"

3. Revealing identity

   The Spymaster reveals the identity of the chosen codename:Team’s agent – The team continues guessing.
   - Opponent’s agent – The turn ends, and the opposing team gets a point.
   - Innocent bystander – The turn ends, but no points are awarded.
   - Assassin – The team immediately loses the game.

4. End of turn

   - The team can guess up to the given number +1 (e.g., “Ocean 2” allows up to three guesses).
   - If the team doesn’t want to risk further guesses, they can end their turn early.

5. Switching teams

   After one team finishes their turn, the other team begins their round and gives a clue.
