I played this Vlaada Chvatil game today and must say I liked it quite a bit.

It is a great party game with just enough meat to it to make you think a bit.

I like the fact that it is team based and could actually accommodate a great number of people.

So in this game you create a 5X5 grid of words. One team member is the spy master while the rest of the team are trying to uncover the words that make up the code.

The spymasters (or team leader) of each team are looking at a color grid that shows them which of the words they need their team to find.
The Spymaster will say a word that generally represents the word on the card or series of cards he is trying to get the team to select. He then provides a number for how many words fit the code world clue he has given. For example, let's say that the words the leader wants his team to find are Horse, saddle, and shoe. He could say something like Equestrian 3 as he has three words he is considering with his clue.

It is very simple with just a few rules. You can use the timer to keep the flow moving or if that frustrates people worse than someone staring at the word combinations for fifteen minutes, you could do without.

The game is getting lots of hype and, while I have other party games I really enjoy like Cards Against Humanity, One Night Werewolf, and Telestrations, this one fills a different niche'.

I do recommend it and it is good but it still does not replace One Night Werewolf or Telestrations as my go to games at parties.
