Two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. 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 can point to multiple pictures on the board. Their teammates try to guess words of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to avoid the assassin.
The pictures version replace the words in the original with a collection of obscure images encouraging more creativity in clue-giving.
