Codenames: Pictures
Players split into two teams with a spymaster for each side who knows which image cards represent friendly, neutral, enemy, and assassin locations. Spymasters give one-word clues plus a number to hint at multiple pictured cards; teammates discuss and select image cards hoping to contact their agents while avoiding opponents and the assassin. Play combines deduction and risk management as teams alternate clues and guesses until one side locates all its agents or the assassin is revealed.
