Description

Codemes duet keeps the basic elements of codemes give one word clues to try to get someone to identify your agents among those on the table but now you're working together as a team to find all of your agents. Why you don't already know who your agents are is a question that CONGRESSIONAL investigators will get on your back about later to set up play, lay out 25 word cards in a 5x5 grid. Place a key card in the holder so that each player sees one side of the card. Each player sees a 5x5 grid on the card, with nine of the Squares colored Green representing your agents and one square colored black representing an assassin. the assassin is in different places on each side of the card, and three of the nine Squares on each side are also Green on the other side collectively, you need to reveal all fifteen agents — without revealing either assassin or too many innocent bystanders — before time runs out in order to win the game. Either player can decide to give a one word clue to the other player, along with a number. Whoever receives the clue places a finger on a card to identify that Agent. If correct, they can attempt to identify another one. If they reveal as many as the number stated by the clue giver, then they can take one fil guess, if desired. If they identify a bystander, then their guessing time ends. If they identify an assassin, you both lose.

  • Great two player game, high re-playability
Absolutely great. We love playing this and we love the addition of the mission map to increase variety and re-playability. It's a lot of fun to try and mind meld, then break down what went sideways when we lose. The ease of set-up is going to make this a go-to for a long time to come.

  • Love it
We love this game. We have the four player version and wanted one that can be played with just two of us. The game offers a great challenge, and offers different rule sets based on how you want to play, and how much of a challenge you want.

  • Fun and Challenging
This game is fun and well made, it's definitely not one you can win every round so it keeps it exciting. There were two typos I found on the word cards, but that doesn't bother me.

  • Good game for two
Overall, Codenames: Duet is an enjoyable and challenging game that offers great value for two players. It strengthens communication, provides hours of entertainment, and has good replay value. Despite a slight learning curve and occasional frustration, it’s a game we keep coming back to. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and engaging two-player word deduction game. ... show more

  • Great two player option
We love the Codenames series, but not everyone wants to play all the time. This is a great two player version. It's just as fun as the others!

  • Such a fun game!
We purchased this because we love the original Codenames game but wanted to play more often for date night. This has been so fun! It's definitely harder than the original because each person has different "assassins" and there's definitely a strategy behind solving in time. Has been so fun and would recommend to anyone! ... show more

  • Fun word game
Gifted it to my boyfriend and we love it! Have yet to touch the Mission Map but the base game is fun as is, I just wish you could add custom words to the mix (like in the online version) with some blank cards.

  • Approachable, Replayable, Strategic
Easy to learn for most people who have a base familiarity with board or word games but, as with most genuinely good games, while the rules are simple there is no shortage of depth and strategy. Creativity, planning ahead, keeping track of information and the ability to take strategic risks at the right time are all asked of the player. The combinations of words and boards are nearly endless and for 25 dollars or less the bang for your buck and replayability are top tier. You could play thousands of games and they’d each be different. My one caution would be the level of difficulty, as it’s the kind of game that either clicks with someone or it doesn’t. My wife and I are highly experienced gamers and nerdy intellectual types and as such we win the overwhelming majority of the time, as in 90% or more, with very little difficulty. However, we believe our coworkers and their spouses, our parents, our friends, etc would have a much harder time and a much lower win rate, as it’s the kind of game where a single strategic mistake ends the day. If you hit an “assassin” tile you just lose and there’s no opportunity for redemption, so avoiding giving clues that could by any stretch of the imagination lead to your partner guessing one of the forbidden words is absolutely mission critical. Basically, I think this game is probably feast or famine with its difficulty and most average people will lose a lot, and you have to be okay with that if you’re going to purchase this. To the game’s credit, however, it does have a few built-in ways, specifically addressed in its rule book, to make it easier if you need to. Still, given that a certain level of vocabulary is necessary and then within that creativity and abstract thinking is required, this game is almost certainly NOT suitable for younger children. Games are fast and setup/cleanup don’t take long either, and the game itself is small and easy to store. In my mind the pros vastly outweigh the cons for us and we’re very satisfied with our purchase. Like I mentioned earlier, for just 25 dollars or less if you’re even vaguely interested in this kind of game it’s hard to go too far wrong here. ... show more
