Transcript
I'm Diana with WTI and I'm calling all the game lovers out there because I have a game for you. This is Codenames. It is a great word game, word association game. And it's two players, it's a group game, well two to eight players, but I find the more players the better. You have two teams, red and blue, and you have these word cards. And it's set up in 5x5. You're given a little map and basically you're trying to get your team to guess your respective team colors' squares before the other team does. There is a game over square that you do not want your team to guess and there are neutral ones where it's neither red nor blue. And so the game is pretty simple but so much fun because you know, for instance, mammoth, you're going to give a one word clue to trying to get your team to guess mammoth. But hopefully you can give a clue that maybe fits more than just mammoth that fits a few words. It is a fun, competitive, creative game. It really makes you think and it's interesting to see how what I associate with words compared to say my friend, my husband, a teammate, everyone has different word associations and different clues. It's a great game. I think you're going to love it and that's my point of view.
