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.

    • Fun 2 Player Game
I have tried to play the normal code names with 2 players, but it didn’t work very well. This game is great and specially designed for just 2 players. Perfect to play with my husband and easy to learn. The rounds don’t take too long so we can play when we have a little time.

    • A great option for a 2 player version
We are big fans of Codenames, but find ourselves playing a lot of games just the two of us. The original Codenames has a two player option, so why buy this? In the original game, the two player option is sort of like playing against a ghost team. One player is the code master and the other is the agent and after each turn, you give your invisible opponent a point and start the next turn. That's fun, but feels more like practice. In this version, which you can mix with your original game for a much bigger pool of agent names (words), each matrix card is double sided and each player has their own secret agent list. You alternate being the code master and being the agent on each turn. There are 15 agents in each game, 6 that are unique to each player's side of the matrix card and 3 that over lap. There are also multiple assassins that may or may not overlap with each code master. Many innocent bystanders and sometimes even an assassin on your matrix will be a contactable agent on your partner's matrix, so you have to make sure you completely ignore your own matrix while you are guessing and contacting agents. To shake things up there is a pad of sheets that have a map of the world with multiple cities and a pair of numbers, like Berlin 11-2 or Monte Carlo 9-0. You can play a much more challenging game, working your way around the world. After each turn of guessing and contacting agents, the guessing player takes a timer token, which is a green folder on one side, indicating you completed your turn without contacting an innocent bystander or assassin, or a gray innocent bystander on the other side (I love that two of them are a dog and a snowman). If you contacted an innocent bystander, you place the token on that word card with the arrow facing towards you, indicating that the word is out of play for you, but may still be an agent for your partner. If you guessed only correct words, whether they were the ones your partner intended or not, you place the chip green side up in front of you to indicate that a turn was taken. So here's what the numbers to mean: in Berlin, you get a total of 11 timer chips (turns) and only two of them are allowed to be contacts with an innocent bystander; in Monte Carlo, you get 9 green folders and no innocent bystanders. If you contact too many innocent bystanders, you might as well have contacted an assassin because your game is over. It adds a lot to the game because you now have a goal to try to get through all of the cities instead of just playing the same game every time. It can be pretty stressful to see your pile of timer chips shrinking while your pile of agent cards doesn't seem to be shrinking fast enough because you just can't find a clue that links multiple words together. ... show more

    • 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.

    • 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 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.

    • 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

    • 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
