Detailed Overview
You and your partner are on a secret mission to a crowded city. Your objective: to contact 15 agents while avoiding a band of enemy assassins.
You know the agents that your partner can contact safely. Your partner knows the agents you can contact safely. By giving each other one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the board, you try to find all the agents before your turns run out.
Codenames: Duet includes 400 new words so you do not need any other Codenames game to play. On the other hand, if you own the original Codenames, you can use the word cards from the two games interchangeably.
Bullet Points
- Enjoy the classic word game cooperatively in two
- Give your partner clever clues to lead them to your agents
- Together contact 15 agents while avoiding enemy assassins before the time runs out
- Add the Duet words to the original Codenames to expand your competitive game!
Components
- 15 green agent cards for cooperative play
- 100 Duet key cards, double-sided so you and your partner can give each other clues
- 11 timer tokens to keep the pressure on
- 1 assassin card (Oh no!)
- 1 pad of mission maps
- 1 card stand
- 1 rulebook
- 200 cards with 400 new words compatible with the original word game
