My wife and I have been playing a word game called Codenames that we find works best with six to ten people, divided into two teams. Every time we play, there’s a lot of laughter and in-game drama. Full disclosure: it’s hard not to really, really want to win this game so there’s inevitably some temporary tension and frustration.
I always want to win any game, but Codenames in particular brings out my competitive side. The genius of the game is also trying to avoid the assassin word - not always easy when you are going for multiple answers. As Jack learned last week.
thanks to you and your wife we are addicted to decrypted..we added a twist. if the losing team can actually guess the words of the winning team it is adraw.
You might want to try Connections- a new game in the NYTimes. Its concept is very similar to Codenames.
It is especially fun when munching on a Snickers bar or perhaps Lays potato chips with a sour cream and onion dip when playing with more than one player.
Sounds like a fun game! My kids are intensely competitive right now (and intensely frustrated any time they lose) so I feel like we need more cooperation games but I’ll keep it in mind

Not if you’re the worst clue giver ever...David.
I love the game - thank you Roberts family for introducing it!
