About this deal

If the team fail to get the code this means communication has broken down and you receive one black token, if you receive two of these token in the game your team loses due to poor communication. Before the Encryptor's team can guess the code, the opposing team has a chance to do so following the first round. I generally don’t like that kind of paradigm, as it usually means that someone is sitting around waiting for something more interesting than what’s currently happening to happen. If you attempt this (your teammates don't even have to succeed in guessing your clues correctly), you immediately get a laser drive token. Decrypto is featured in our blog about great party games for small groups - read the full post here.

However if your looking for something lighter then you should probably stick with just the base game. It gets you thinking fast and looking for ways to describe words you’d probably never have thought of before.Easily translatable if you give me a list of nouns in your language and give me a translation for all the text in the mod.

At higher player counts, you just kind of have more … noise, and there’s less for an individual player to do. Decrypto is a "scramble communication" game: you must give clues to your teammates that are precise enough, so they can understand you, but vague enough, to make sure your opponents don't get the message. One player will take a card with the 3 digit code (a combination of the 4 numbers on the code screen); they will need to give their teammates a coded message so they can figure out what the 3 digit number may be. Also It's not big or clever to try and cheat the system" ~ For clarity Ian tried to throw off the other team by giving clues at random, this did not pan out for us!The code giver changes to another person and the same thing happens, they pick a code 3-4-2 this time. However, teaching the rhythm of Decrypto is a bit more complicated than I would prefer in a casual game like this. Although after each game ends, we still like to attempt guessing what the other team’s Keywords are just for fun. If you successfully decrypt your opponents, you gain an Interception token; fail to decrypt your own, and you gain a Miscommunication token. Decrypto arguably has the higher ceiling for emotional impact, and asks more of the players to get the most out of it.

And, when we play the game, usually it is such a hit that we play multiple games until everyone has had a chance at being the clue giver at least once.Also if you look at that gamefound, it's easy to be deceived---the actual gameplay portions are not cheap but aren't over the top expensive. Aside from the initial odd flow of the game, you’ll quickly get past that and into the back and forth that makes Decrypto such a treat to play. Clues can be of almost any form – they can be single words, phrases, sentences, songs, dances, whatever. With Decrypto, I think there are more things you can be doing with those extra cycles, and more interesting ways to contribute to the group’s goals.

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.Decrytpo is a game of deduction and subterfuge as players attempt to guess 3 digit codes set by the opposing team. Joe Huber (1 play, of the prototype): I concur with everything Dale said about the quality and cleverness of the game.
