Codenames Disney - Family Edition Card Game

Product Information

I strongly recommend that you start each round with a chance to ‘admit ignorance’. To point at a card and say that you have no idea who or what it is. This is far more important for the word side than the picture side. However, with a good 90+ years of releases, Disney has an intimidating filmography. It takes a super-fan to recognise every character from every movie, let alone know enough about them to be able to give clever clues. The only other downside is that the double-sided cards feature the name of a character and the picture of them. This means that you can’t rapidly reset the board by flipping all the cards over.

Codenames: XXL is a much larger version of the original game, to help people with vision impairment issues. While the original card size in Codenames was 2.6″× 1.7″, Codenames XXL contains cards sized 4.7″× 2.8″. Czech Games Edition’s Codenames is a fantastic, easy-to-play word association game. Players split into two teams, each team having a nominated spymaster. Spymasters are given a grid that details the exact location of all their agents in the field. It is up to the spymasters to communicate the locations of the agents to their teammates. However, there is one big catch! The locations are all associated with words, and the only way to communicate these is to give one-word clues. If you are already familiar with Codenames or Codenames: Pictures these are the only changes to the game that you need to be aware of. During each team’s turn, the Cluemaster gives exactly one clue. One word and one number make up a clue. Cluemasters determine this number by how many cards of their own are related to the clue. The guessers on the team always make at least one guess. Words are hidden in plain sight in a 5x5 or grid that includes the words of the other team, neutral words, and n game over card that will cause you to lose the game immediately if you guess it

Codenames: Disney Family Edition keeps the Codenames gameplay, while featuring characters and locations from over 90 years of Disney and Pixar films. Suppose your Cluemaster says WATER: 2, you can make up to three guesses, provided you get the first two right. You might not have found all Treasure Cards for some clues. Besides Treasure Cards related to the current clue, you can guess cards for earlier clues. Rules for Disney Codenames clues Two teams, each having a Spymaster, compete in this game to find if they can figure out who their agents are, before the other.

Codenames: Pictures was released in September 2016, and includes 200 two-sided cards that feature images instead of words. [2] The game uses a 5x4 grid instead of the original's 5x5, resulting in 20 cards being used at a time, but otherwise has the same rules as the original. The image cards themselves can also be combined with the word cards from the original game for a more advanced gameplay variation. The down side of that is it can sometimes be quite difficult to link more than one card. This is especially true in the family version when you have even less cards to work with. Many times we’d just give a 1 number clue because there was no good way to link our cards. Final Thoughts:Cluemaster’s job is to think up a clue related to one, or some of the cards your team is trying to guess. A clue consists of one word related to your cards and one number to tell how many are related. This game plays the same as the original but has pictures instead of words. However, the pictures are all duel layered. E.g, you could have a picture of a feather above a bear trap. This allows you to link cards easier, but also adds risk to people guessing the wrong card. It’s great for kids or people with issues reading the words. Treasure Cards their team is trying to find) to give clues in the form of code words telling their teammates where to find the cards. Be careful! Decipher a code incorrectly and you might help the other team! It's a race to identify all your team's cards first! Once a clue has been given, it's up to the team to work out which words the spymaster is trying to communicate to you. If you select a correct word, well done, you’ve found a fellow agent! Be careful though, select a wrong word and one of three things can happen! You could have mistaken an innocent bystander for an agent, a rather foolish thing to do! You could have found one of the other team's agents, which will simply give them the upper hand! But worst of all, you could find the dangerous assassin. Find him, and it's game over for you my friend!
