Two rival spymasters know the secret identities of their agents in the field. Their teammates know the agents only by their CODENAMES.
In Codenames: Pictures, two teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that ideally relate to several agents on the board. Their teammates try to guess agents of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team — and everyone wants to avoid the assassin.
Codenames: Pictures differs from the original Codenames in that the agents are no longer represented by a single word, but by an image that contains multiple elements.

Same but different from the original Codenames
The mechanics of Codenames: Picture is the same as in the original Codenames, except here there arent any restrictions against using a word that exactly describes an image on any o...view moref the cards.This does not make the gameplay much easier than the original since each card has multiple unrelated objects incorporated. Because there is so much to potentially use in each card, the Spymasters role may be more challenging because there are more relationship options to choose.As with the original game, great high-five moments come when a Spymaster brilliantly picks a word that helps her team uncover 5 cards that dont at first glance have any obvious similarity with each other.YOU WILL PROBABLY NOT LIKE THIS GAME IF: you cant take teasing when you mess up you tend to take words or pictures too literally; or you get hung up on only one possible meaning for a word or one possible interpretation of an image you find illustrated drawings difficult to interpret you dont like team competitions, even very friendly light-hearted onesYOU WILL PROBABLY LIKE THIS GAME IF: you really enjoy word association games you enjoy lateral thinking challenges you enjoy games with lots of social interaction and table chatter you often get together groups of 4 or more friends or family who might not otherwise play board games you enjoy games with minimal set-up, break down, and explanation for new players you want a game that can be played in any language view less
