🕵️ The Party Game That Defined a Genre – Codenames Classic Rediscover the game that took the world by storm. Available now at Hobby Collectors Australia, the Original Edition of Codenames is the Spiel des Jahres-winning masterpiece by Vlaada Chvátil. Combining elements of social deduction, word association, and team strategy, Codenames is the perfect icebreaker for game nights, family gatherings, and parties. In this classic edition, two rival spymasters compete to see who can contact all of their secret agents first. But there’s a catch: they only know their agents by their CODENAMES, and one wrong guess could reveal a bystander, an enemy spy, or the deadly assassin. Gameplay Highlights: The Spymaster’s Challenge: As Spymaster, you must provide a one-word clue and a number (e.g., "Animal: 3"). Your goal is to connect as many of your team's words on the board as possible without accidentally pointing to the other team's agents. Team Synergy: Operatives must work together to decode the Spymaster's intent. Is "Nut" referring to the food or the hardware on the board? The debate is half the fun! High-Stakes Tension: Every board features one Assassin. If your team chooses that word, you lose the game instantly, keeping the tension high until the very last card. Classic Components: This edition features the original, iconic silhouettes for agents and bystanders that fans have loved since 2015. Massive Replayability: With 400 total codenames on 200 double-sided cards and 40 different key card configurations (which can be rotated for 160 unique layouts), no two games are ever the same. Inside the Box: 16 Agent Cards (8 Red, 8 Blue). 1 Double Agent Card. 7 Innocent Bystander Cards. 1 Assassin Card. 40 Key Cards (with plastic stand). 1 Sand Timer (to keep the Spymasters moving!). 200 Double-Sided Cards (400 classic Codenames). 1 Rulebook.
