Codenames

Hmm. People creating totally new words that don't exist to match more than one word. It's funny, but I don't think I'll play this very often... There should be a timer that limits the one who has to name a word. So, after playing it again, decreased to a 1. It's just as boring as hell! If I'm ever 'forced' to play this again I will immediately give a one-hint to the tile that ends the game...

Codenames is usually a good time, but it is dependent on the group and can be much easier for one team than the other depending on the random words each team gets. Sure, you can almost always find creative links between 2 or 3 words, but it’s so much easier when you don’t have to be creative because your team got all 4 animal cards on the board. I know you can play this game with any number of players, but it’s probably best with 4 or 6 players (teams of 2 or 3). At teams of 4 and up, things can get contentious when the guessers can’t agree. Again, this is dependent upon the group.

The game feels like it's been out there for decades (one of those "how come this game wasn't a thing before" experiences). It can be frustrating at times, but when it works, it works wonderfully. + Duet (which is an interesting coop version that is a bit more unforgiving and frustrating at times) Strange how this one never gets played anymore. It's still a good game, but I'd always rather play So Clover or its other siblings.
