Codenames: Pictures delivers a different experience - Review A year after the success of Codenames, a pictures-only version of the game was released. Codenames: Pictures is a stand-alone expansion that maintains the look, feel, and paper-thin theme of the original. Except now all of the word cards are pictures. For those who missed my Codenames review earlier this week, it contains a full overview of how to play and an in-depth examination of why it's worth playing. So as perhaps the shortest summary in board game history, players break into two teams. One player (the spymaster) on each team gets a key card with hidden information about what cards to guess. Using this information, the clue giver attempts to steer their team into guessing several words from a grid of them. However, if the team guesses the assassin card, then that team instantly loses. Codenames: Pictures doesn't stray from this formula. As a result, a lot of what I mentioned in the original review still applies. It's still a wonderful party game, and this version brings with it a new flavour. So what's new, and which one should you get? Read the post Like it or hate it Codenames is a modern classic - Review Find the hidden agents before the other team and win bragging rights with some stellar clues.
