Cross Clues

Players cooperate to fill a shared grid of intersecting code words by giving single-word clues that represent the crossing of two different entries. Each round teams discuss and submit one-word clues, trying to match both intersecting answers under a time limit and avoid misleads that block the grid. Play continues across multiple puzzles with different word combinations, requiring lateral thinking and communication to complete as much of the grid as possible.

    I really hate this kind of games. This is just a codenames clone. And it just doesn't work in german. Why? Because in german you can combine multiple words to a legally long one. It's just boring. But even if you couldn't build that long words I would find it just boring.

    Codenames streamlined and turned into a co-op. It's quicker, easier (most of the time) and more flexible when it comes to player count. It is fun, although I'm not sure I like it more than Codenames as it almost doesn't feel like a game because of its free-form nature. I think it might lack some of the excitement these type of games usually have. [Tried it with Codenames cards.] Bought it, but I'm honestly not sure it's worth keeping next to Codenames, it's just a not very exciting excercise.

    Buenísimo juego de palabras. Cooperativo divertido y portable. Filler recomendado. Impro-Reseña⇒ https://youtu.be/dgzOlbxTpF0
