CODENAMES DUET (2025)
Team up with other covert operatives in the hit cooperative version of Codenames. Two cooperating players or groups exchange clever clues to collectively reveal their agents while sneaking past enemy assassins. With shared goals and limited information, every clue counts in this thrilling test of teamwork and deduction.
This refreshed edition brings new life to the fan-favorite with a revised word list, beautiful new art, a streamlined rulebook for easier learning, and a new insert to keep your game organized. Whether you're playing as a duo or with a larger group, Codenames Duet delivers a satisfying, collaborative challenge!
In Codenames Duet, you're no longer competing — you're teaming up with a fellow operative (or operatives in a group game) for an exciting cooperative experience. The mission? Work together to find all your secret agents hidden among a grid of mysterious codenames. The twist? You each see part of the key — and neither of you has the full picture. Codenames: Duet is perfect to enjoy with only two players, but you can also play it with more friends, if you'd like a less competitive experience than in the basic Codenames.
Here’s how the game works: Lay out 25 word cards in a 5×5 grid. Between you is a shared key card — each half of the team sees one side. On your side, nine words mark your agents, three mark deadly assassins, and the rest are innocent bystanders.
You’ll take turns giving one-word clues paired with a number, pointing the operative(s) across from you to specific words on the grid. Guess right? Keep going. Guess a bystander? Your turn ends. Guess an assassin? Mission failed — game over. But as long as your guesses are correct, you can keep going, even revisiting past clues.
The game is played over a series of 9 turns, but can be increased to 11 turns for operatives who may need a little more time as they improve their skills. Since everyone is working together, there's no downtime between turns — keeping all players fully engaged throughout!
Your goal: Find all 15 agents — without triggering an assassin — before you run out of time!
The game includes 400 new words that can be combined with those from standard Codenames.

Additionally, by excavating more and more island levels you may encounter all kinds of surprises – from new gear, to mean crabs to lethal barrels.
Simple and intuitive rules of Snails are based on action planning. Just secretly choose 5 Action Cards and 2 snails from your squad to perform them, then watch the mayhem that you cause!

Fast, but strategic and competitive gameplay, immersive and funny artwork by “Djib” Reynaud – a world-famous French illustrator, high replayability thanks to various game modes and battle scenarios… All this guarantees that you and your friends will have great fun whenever you play Snails.

Kutná Hora: The City of Silver is a historical city-building Eurogame for 2-4 players that features a real-life supply and demand experience in which every action you take has an impact on the game's dynamic economic systems.
In each round, players take turns selecting actions from a hand of double-sided cards to engage strategic plans like mining, purchasing plots of land on which to build, gaining permits, raising buildings for their affiliated guilds, gaining profit from their production, and of course working towards the construction of Saint Barbara's Cathedral.
The asymmetrical nature of each player's available guilds makes for highly interactive rounds in which each decision impacts the economy and other players in interesting ways as they expand their mines and build infrastructure across a shared board.
