Codenames is a recent smash hit party game.  Two teams, red and blue, compete against each other to find the most words of their color out of a grid of 25 words, based on clues given to them by their team leader.

 

The grid has 25 words; for example:
 

Card    Odor    Shirt   Burp    Mist
Tie     Wings   Lip     Rake    Napkin
Axe     Seed    Slipper Game    Island
Crowd   Shake   Booger  Butter  Love
Bed     Wall    House   Bucket  Fur

There are four types of words, which are known to the team leaders but not the guessers.  Some of the words in the grid are "red"; the red team leader wants to give clues to their team so that they can guess all of the red words. The same applies for the blue team and blue words. Some of the words are "neutral", and one of them is the "assassin"; if guessed, the team automatically loses.

For example, suppose the red team leader gave the clue, "Rummy 2" (one-word clue, which can't be on the board, and one number, which is the number of words associated with the clue).  The red team's guessers would look through the board and try to find 2 words associated with "Rummy".  For example, they could pick "Card" and "Game".  When the guessers pick a card, the type of the word gets revealed.  If a team guesses correctly (the word is in the team's color), they get to guess again; otherwise, play passes to the next team.  After a team is finished guessing, the opposing team can give a clue.

 

Anyone want to start a forum game of Codenames?  We'd need at least 4 people (two team leaders and two guessers), but the more the better!

bump

I got a big clue for you Sqrdsqr and Samus if he still wants to play 

 

My clue is: Farming 4

Thats got a lot of options... Not my final answer yet (in case someone wants to, Idk, maybe be on my team other than deathbringer(who is an excellent leader)) but Plantation, plant, land, goat and animal all fit.

Go ahead and touch Plantation, plants, goat, animal

Filling in for D34THBR1NG3R…

 

Plantation is RED.

Plant is RED.

Goat is BLUE.

Animal is RED.

 

It was a good clue, and you got three of the words, but you landed on Goat which gave Blue a free point!

Remember that on the next round, you can make still guesses for the other "Dream" word and the other "Farming" word that you haven't gotten yet.

 

My clue: 9/11 Attacks: 2

Fear and Passenger.

 

Final answer S'il vous plait.

And I think night is a blue, cause we didn't get a word that was related to Dream besides moon.

Fear is BLUE.

Passenger is BLUE.

 

You got my clue!

Okay, blue team, we've got to pull off guessing all three of our remaining words on one clue, or else red might win... but we're not going to let that happen, are we?

 

Tools: 3

So far I'm thinking scissors and bell (bell would also line up with our 1 missing from curved). The third word im thinking cork as most people don't refer to their limbs as tools, hence ruling out foot. SM? Icecream? Thoughts?

I agree with your assessment. 

Scissors is BLUE.

Bell is YELLOW.

Cork is BLUE.

Well done, D34THBR1NG3R and the red team!

 

FYI, the other Blue word was indeed "foot." Foot, Cork, and Scissors in one clue is a bit tricky.

 

Anyone want to play again? Who wants to be the team leaders next?
