You are on the White Team with Alice and Bob. Bob is the first "Encryptor". He is trying to transmit the 3-digit code on the random card he drew. To do so, he comes up with 3 clues, one for each digit: "Mexico", "Insect", "Horror".
A clue must NOT refer to inside or private information (e.g., "our dinner last night" or "your sister's favorite animal" for Cow) The Decrypto Laser Drive Expansion is an optional rule addition to the main game. In each round, a category card is called and at least one of the Encryptor's clues must match the given category. If all three clues match the category the Encryptor's team receives a Laser Token, which can be spent to guess the opposing team's keywords to receive an Interception Token. [7] Reception [ edit ] For the keyword number 4, she writes "parasol", since sombreros are used to protect against the sun.The game takes place over a series of rounds (usually between 4 to 6 rounds). At the beginning of each round, each team selects a player to be their Encryptor. This role rotates, moving from team member to team member. To keep the game from dragging, try limiting the time as follows: As soon as either Encryptor has finished writing their clues, they turn over the Sand Timer. The opposing Encryptor must finish writing their clues before the Sand Timer runs out; otherwise, they won't have three complete clues to give!
Each round, the Encryptor must come up with new clues. You must follow these guidelines when creating your clues: The Note Sheet is double sided. Keep in mind that one side is for your team and the other side is for the opposing team. The edges of the Note Sheet match the colors of the Screens! Alice reads her clues aloud and passes the Note Sheet to Bob. Eve and Mallory write down Alice's clues on the white side of their sheet. Both teams use the white side because the clues were given by the White Team's Encryptor.Both teams write down the correct numbers for each clue in the second column. Then they note the clues in the boxes at the bottom of the sheet, grouping together all of the clues related to each Keyword number. However, he has no idea what his teammate Alice wants to tell him with the "Odonata" clue. He doesn't know this word. He guesses 1.

Finally, they know that Freddy strikes at night. They write down their attempted interception in the first column: 2.3.4.
If you enjoy word association games with an element of deduction and creative thinking then this game is perfect for you. Decrypto is a relatively family friendly game with some complex/more challenging word/encryption cards which can easily be removed or swapped with other charges. On their side of the table, Eve and Mallory think about the clues. They believe that the clue "evening with friends" is tied to the keyword 1, thinking that "horror" is related to "horror films", which is a typical evening activity for teenagers. If both teams win in the same round, the tokens turn into points, with Interceptions worth +1 and Miscommunication worth -1 to determine the winning team. Using the Note Sheet, each team's Encryptor writes three clues on the three lines for the current round. Write the clue for the first digit of the code on the top line, and so on. Use the side of the Note Sheet that corresponds to your team's color. They believe that "parasol" relates to the keyword 4, since Mexico (a clue from the first round) is a sunny country. The keyword 4 might be Sun...
Game Play
Put away your Codenames agents and marvel in the true king of word association games; Decryto – a fantastic new twist on a classic theme which uses fantastic real life encryption! If a team has 2 Interception tokens and 2 Miscommunication tokens at the end of a round (winning and losing at the same time); As you can see, Decrpyto has several elements which make the game have twists and turns such as its unique encrypted cards which are only revealed when placed in your panel. This, in my view, supersedes Codenames and is much more fun and family friendly, and given the choice been the two games I would play Decryto. One common problem with Codenames is the mass mix of cards which require high methodical thinking and strict rules. Decrypto removes this as you only have four words to think of clues for and the rules allow you to use names, slogans and much more. The Clues must refer to the meaning of the Keywords. The Clues must never refer to the spelling ("C" to hint at "Cursed"), the number of letters ("8" or "8 letters" to hint at "Scorpion"), the position on the Screen ("musketeers" to hint at the word in the third position), or pronunciation ("face" to make your team guess "Place"). In this cryptic game of clues and secrecy, your aim is to intercept the opponent team twice without failing your own team twice
Decrypto is suitable for three to eight players, created by Thomas Dagenais-Lespérance, and published by Le Scorpion Masqué and IELLO. It’s afantastic, fun, very unique word association game, in-which players divide into two teams, and each team receives four secret words which are hidden using a unique encryption tool of word play. When you place the word in the Decrypto panel, the word is revealed, each secret word when placed in the panel will have a accordioning number from one to four which will be used as part of a code.Also note that the scrambling effect on the words makes sure you don't accidentally read the other words on the card when you set up your screen.
