codename duo

Codenames Duo retains the core gameplay of Codenames. Give a clue word to try and identify the agents present at the table. But now you work as a team. As in Codenames, 25 word cards are laid out in a 5x5 grid. Each player has a key card with its holder and 9 green words that they must get their teammate to guess. Both players share 3 green words. The assassin (in black) is in a different location on each side of the card. Collectively, you must find all 15 agents without revealing the assassin or too many innocent bystanders, all within a time limit. One player chooses to give the other player a word clue and a number. The player receiving the clue must choose a card to identify the agent. If the answer is correct, they can try to identify another agent. If they reveal as many agents as the number indicated by the clue giver, then they can play again. If they identify a passerby, their turn ends. If they identify an assassin, they both lose!
