Games like codenames

Codenames is a 2015 card game for 4–8 players designed by Vlaada Chvátil and published by Czech Games Edition. Two teams compete by each having a "spymaster" give one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the board. The other players on the team attempt to guess their team's words while avoiding the words of the other team. In a variant with 2–3 players, one spymaster gives clues to the other player or players.

In 2016, Codenames won the Spiel des Jahres award for the best board game of the year.

Codenames is a game of guessing which codenames (i.e., words) in a set are related to a hint-word given by another player.

Players split into two teams: red and blue. One player of each team is selected as the team's spymaster; the others are field operatives.
