    Codenames

    • Great time with a family!
    • Played this game at a hotel retreat and had a great time with other couples!
    • My family loves games and have a difficult time finding a "new" game that is challenging yet fun.
    • Everyone had a great time.
    • it crosses age groups easily (I've played with family and friends aged 12 to 60+ years) and we've always had a fine time
    • It scales relatively well and I have played it with ~14 people and everyone still had a great time
    • Every time we bring this game out people love it
    • oh well, glad everyone else is having such a great time
    • Great each time!
    • good times, easy to learn, quick to play
    • Literally everyone, non-gamers included, has had a good time playing this any time I've brought it out.
    • Was overall a pretty good time, ended up playing 3 or 4 rounds the first night
    • Every time we play, we can guarantee a fun time with involvement with all party guests
    • My all-time best clue being a six card clue (resulting in 4 picks at first)
    • It's pretty simple but my family had a hard time getting started with everything as some of the instructions are a little vague or just suggestions on how you can play.
    • Everyone had a great time playing it; highly recommend for people that hosts parties, larger groups of bg nights.
    • Even family members that don't typically enjoy playing board games had a great time.
    • This one is a very slow playing game that feels like time drags on.
    • We’ve played a few times with the family and it’s always a great time
    • Trying to find a clue that will convey the right information can be a bit challenging depending on the combination of words on the table sometimes, but anyone prone to "Analysis Paralysis" will have a tough time of it
    • Only con is the wait time coming up with clues as a spy master
    • The game is fun but the plastic card stand broke the first time we played the game
    • I haven't played it, but my kids (including adult kids) are having a great time with it.
    • Always have a good time bringing this out and the rules make it simple enough to teach to new players in a flash.
    • Whether you are giving the one word clue or trying to guess what word your partner is trying to make you guess, Codenames is definitely going to be an enjoyable time for everyone
    • I've played this game with friends, colleagues and complete strangers, and had great fun each time.
    • We played for holidays and we all had a great time.
    • It was completely boring both times we played.
    • Always a crowd favorite because multiple ages and multiple people can play and have a good time.
    • But all in all we had a good time playing, and will play again.
    • I have played this game many times at this point and still struggle with it occasionally
    • Overall; we really enjoyed, we played it several times over several days throughout the 2 week holiday break.
    • Game was received on time and new in package as promised.
    • The most I've had playing is 10 and everyone had a great time.
    • We've played it with a group of 4 and a group of 6 and both times were really good.
    • I took it to the work ski trip with my coworkers and it was a great time playing the game
    • no matter who's house we hang out with we can play and just have a good time.
    • Moves fast enough to keep things interesting, great time.
    • I had a really fun time playing this game with my family
    • and they had a great time
    • It's more challenging than it seems, and it's always been fun every time we've played.
    • Basically any time the spymasters say or react to anything gives their team a huge unfair advantage
    • We've quite enjoyed playing this game many times over, and it holds up well with large numbers of people.
    • We had an awesome time with this game in all of those settings
    • Everyone always has a great time playing.
    • Good times, every time.
    • We played with people ages 14-58 and everyone had a great time.
    • I own this game, bought it multiple times for friends and enjoy it immensely
    • We went skiing with a group of 10 ages ranging from 9 to 56, and everyone had a great time playing this
    • We played this game several times over the Holidays, and had a great time every single round.
    • This game is a great way to get to hate your friends and have a great time doing it.
    • I've since played it with different groups of friends and it's just as fun every time
    • It's quick, so you can play just one round to give it a shot or decide to play many if you're really having a good time with it.
    • Younger kids will have a hard time making connections beyond the most obvious clues.
    • Smart, fun, easy to teach, over in a reasonable time
    • Great multi-generational fun, different every time you play, and easy to learn
    • Some of my friends had a harder time than others coming up with clues, and that can drag the game out
    • Our family is having a great time with this one!
    • From 40 somethings 9and even a 60 something mom that popped in to my 11 year old, everybody had a good time
    • Kept everyone laughing and having a good time
    • My husband and I can play with our two kids (8 & 11) and enjoy some quality family time
    • I've enjoyed this every time we've played.
    • Since getting this we’ve played several times and have had so much fun every time
    • Offers very good replayability and a great time
    • We've played it with a group of 4 and six, and had a great time each time
    • This is a very fun game--I've played this with people who usually don't enjoy games and even they had a good time
    • Although this game can be tough and some code masters may have a hard time getting 3 or even 2 associations, I highly recommend this game.
    • we okay it with, has a great time.
    • We have always had a good time when playing with friends.
    • The first time I played Codenames, I really enjoyed the gameplay, the thinking that goes into being the codemaster, the challenge of figuring out the codemaster's reasoning.
    • People love it every time we play it and my friends always ask me to bring it for parties and gatherings
    • However, the shipping, product, etc. everything came in good time and was well packaged.
    • It was a little slow getting into it, but then we had the best time!
    • It's a little different every time, and so much fun
    • First played it with a group of friends, and we had such a great time
    • Although this game can be tough and some code masters may have a hard time getting 3 or even 2 associations, I highly recommend this game.
    • The only games I have that just me and my wife can sit down together at the table and play are Dominion and Ticket to Ride (which are both moderate time commitments), and Carcassonne (which we can't play because she's pregnant right now, so she can't be on the floor for very long, and we don't have a big enough table.)So I've been looking for games we can just sit down and play together in less than 30 mins, and still have a good time, which is why I decided to try out Codenames
    • We have had some great times over this game
    • We've actually played it multiple times and still love it
    • We play it all the time and everyone that plays it, loves it
    • It's fun no matter what side you're on, because just watching people's reactions make this game an awesome time by all
    • Most games have some element of luck, and I get that it's just a party game, but it just feels silly every time a team pulls off a win due to a 100% random guess
    • We played it on Christmas Eve before opening presents, and I had a hard time getting everyone to stop playing long enough to get to the presents
    • I'll be able to pull this out with any type of group (gaming, friends, family, work, etc.) and have a great time
