Detailed Overview
What are these strange symbols on the map? They are code for locations where spies must contact secret agents!
Two rival spymasters know the agent in each location. They deliver coded messages telling their field operatives where to go for clandestine meetings. Operatives must be clever. A decoding mistake could lead to an unpleasant encounter with an enemy agent – or worse, with the assassin! Both teams race to contact all their agents, but only one team can win.
Codenames: Pictures differs from the original Codenames in that the agents are no longer represented by a single word, but by an image that contains multiple elements.
Bullet Points
- Enjoy the classic word game but with pictures!
- As a spymaster, deliver cleverly coded messages to your team
- As an operative, decode messages without contacting the enemy or an assassin
- Race to contact all agents before the rival team!
Components
- 14 agent cards in two colors
- 1 double agent card
- 4 innocent bystander cards
- 1 assassin card
- 60 key cards
- 1 rulebook
- 1 card stand
- 140 cards with 280 pictures
