Codenames: Duet XXL

The two player version of Codenames is a different game from the original Codenames title. The use of turn marker/chits ensures that each game can only be 9 turns or up to 11. Combined with a different display on each side of the code chart you must think how to gain multiple successes which are far more necessary than the original codenames. Also, the back page of the rules explains how the codes were designed so both players have the same assassin (black square with an x) but the other two are different so paying close attention to what the other player's provided clues versus the words down on the table is key during our playing. The cards are great and very large so if you have any vision problems, hand function limitations, or drop cards shuffling, we found this large XXL size worked for us better. Fantastic, quick game and the campaign mode, for want of a better word, is actually quite entertaining to try. For the price and the chance to play a quick game that requires thinking, this is an excellent title to pick up. Highest Recommendation.

The bigger cards help a lot, plus it’s a good alternative for two players if you like the game.

I have the normal version of this game and play it with my partner all the time. She loves it but always complains about the size of the cards. Got this as a surprise gift and it went over amazing! Same exact game just larger tiles. Takes up more space on the table but really brings a new experience :)
