What is Codenames: Duet about?
Top Secret Co-Op Locate your agents before time runs out! This standalone co-op game takes you and your partner on a top secret mission to a crowded city based on the original party game hit. Your mission? Avoid a band of assassins while contacting 15 agents. You know the agents your partner can reach safely; they know the agents you can reach safely. Your goal is to find all the agents before your turns run out using one-word clues that point to multiple words on the board.
A brilliant 2 player game. You probably know how Codenames works, but this version is only for two players. The players must take turns giving clues to locate an agent. Make a mistake, and you may hook up with an innocent bystander, or worse, an assassin, thereby ending the game.
