In Codenames, two teams compete to be the first to make contact with all of their agents. 25 cards are laid out, each with a word. The spymasters look at a card that shows the identity of each word and then take turns giving clues to their teammates. Each clue consists of a single word and a number, where the number indicates how many cards relate to the clue word.
The teammates try to guess an agent they believe belongs to their team. If they are correct, they may continue guessing up to one more time than the number given. But if they choose an agent from the opposing team or a neutral bystander, their turn ends. And if they reveal the assassin, they immediately lose the game.
The spymasters continue providing clues until one team finds all of their agents or until the assassin eliminates a team from the game.
