Board game Czech Games Edition Codenames: Duet (eng) ( CGE00040 )

DESCRIPTION OF BOARD GAME CODENAMES: DUET

 Although spies are supposed to have nerves of steel, they are still human. Tired of the grueling confrontation, the leading secret intelligence decided to conduct a joint operation to deal with an adversary of global scale. Meet the continuation of the legendary Codenames - Codenames Duet!

 This is a cooperative game made especially for two, but the spy world is always open to cooperation, so you can save the planet with four. There are 400 new word cards waiting for you to mix and match with the original game cards. The gallery of secret agents has been replenished with new individuals.

PREPARATION FOR THE GAME

 The players are located opposite each other. Word cards are placed on the table in the form of a 5x5 playing field. A stack of agent tiles and an assassin tile are laid out nearby.

MAP OF MISSIONS: AND THE WHOLE WORLD IS LITTLE

 If in the original game our main goal was a local victory over the enemy organization, then in Duet we have to perform various missions around the globe. Each mission is marked on the secret map with a circle. Next to it is indicated the city to which we will go, and two numbers - the conditions of the mission. The first indicates the number of moves, the second - the number of permissible errors. Civilian tokens are converted into turn tokens.

 Next to the playing field, as many move tokens as the specific mission requires are laid out. Tokens for acceptable errors are placed with the image of civilians on top, the rest - with a tick on top. If the number of moves exceeds 9, use additional blue tokens. Since the author of the Codenames series, Volodymyr Khvatil, is from the Czech Republic, the first mission will be Prague. Write the name of your team on the map and go!

BIGGER THAN LIFE IS AT STAKE

 The sides of the key card depict different parts of the city: western or eastern, old city or new. The key card is placed on a stand so that each player can see only his side. On each side, 9 agents are marked in green, with which you can establish contact. If in the original there is only 1 killer on each side, then in Codenames Duet there are 3 of them at once.

EXPERIENCE OF THE SCOUT

 The goal of the game: to establish contact with 15 agents. Players take turns saying code words and guessing the location of the agents. Unlike Codenames, in our turn we can make as many attempts as we like, regardless of the number in the codeword, as long as we guess correctly. So we have an unlimited number of attempts and a mission map - practically the whole world in our hands, but on the other hand the number of turns is limited... Hmm, this is getting interesting.

WE ESTABLISH CONTACT

 The life of spies is full of surprises, and anything can happen at any moment in the world of secret agents:

• if the player reveals an agent, the agent tile is placed on the corresponding division facing the player who made the contact.
• if the player has discovered a civilian, a civilian token is placed on this division facing the player. The position of the token indicates that on that player's side there is a civilian hiding behind the word, but on his partner's side it can be anyone: another civilian, an agent, or an assassin. If another player encounters an agent here, their image is placed under the civilian token facing the player who made the contact. If the second player also encounters a civilian, another civilian token is placed on the division. Both tokens must cover a word that no one else will guess.
• as in the original, the player may not use all attempts and stop guessing. Then he takes a token and puts a check mark up.
• meeting with the killer, as before, does not bode well. Any contact with him means certain death and defeat.

LAST CHANCE

 If, after using all turn tokens, players have not been able to make contact with all 15 agents, they no longer receive hints and build their guesses only on the available information. An encounter with a civilian or an assassin causes defeat.

I DID MY JOB

 When you have guessed all the agents, you can inform your partner about it and stop giving hints. It's time to go all out to find the remaining agents on his side.

MURDEROUS TRIO AND SPY SECRETS

 It seems that there are too many assassins, but this is their weak point. When a killer works alone, he can hide anywhere, but if it is a group of hired killers, then they have to act together, following a certain pattern:

• the first of the killers is the killer from the other player
• the second killer is a civilian from the other player's side
• the third killer is an agent from the other player

 Use this advantage to avoid encountering a civilian and an assassin. It is forbidden to inform your partner about the location of civilians and murderers.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

 When contact with all agents is established, the mission is considered completed and marked with a check mark on the map. The players sum up, evaluating their professionalism and effectiveness of teamwork. Well, now you can go to the next one. We go to a new city, following the lines on the secret map.

WHO IS THE GAME FOR?

 Tired of fighting your fellow spies? Then why not join forces and face the global threat together. Do you lack risk? A trio of hired killers at your service.
