Decrypto – 5th Anniversary Ed.

Casey Slumkoski — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 12:55:56 +0000

Decrypto pits two teams against each other. The general idea of the game is to transmit information to your own team without the other team understanding. To win you have to walk a fine line: The instructions you give need to be clear enough for your teammates to understand, while at the same time obscure enough to baffle your adversaries!

Each round, both teams appoint one of their members to be the Encryptor, whose job is to transmit a secret 3-digit code to their teammates without the opposing team intercepting the code. If you succeed in guessing the opposing team’s code, you win an Interception Token. If you manage to get 2 Interception Tokens, your team wins!

Highlights:

LIMITED EDITION: The black box with shiny gold foil accents is exclusive to 2023, celebrating the 5 year anniversary of Decrypto’s publication!

Codenames: Deep Undercover 2.0

Casey Slumkoski — Sun, 05 Nov 2023 19:19:52 +0000

Two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates know the agents only by their CODENAMES.

Codenames: Deep Undercover is an adults-only, mature version of Codenames using the same popular game mechanics, but introduces all-new words, packaging, “by-standers” and art. A new twist is added with the inclusion of blank cards, allowing players to introduce their own words to the game. In Codenames: Deep Undercover, two teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the board. Their teammates try to guess words of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to avoid the assassin.

Codenames: Deep Undercover can be played as a standalone game or combined with other Codenames titles.
