Description

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

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.

Quotes (from this video)
  • Target being a friendly local game store? Why the mere thought is preposterous. Sacrilege, or is it?
  • no a catalog of modern board games alone doesn't qualify Target as a friendly local game store. There's more to a game store than just games.
  • Is the friendly local game store of the future going to change from being an independent Mom and Pop Shop to a big box retail chain? Could stores like Target and Barnes & Noble even ever technically qualify as a friendly local game store?

Quotes (from this video)
  • On the live cast a couple days ago, Jamie mentioned that in 2 weeks he was going to start talking about the Scythe versus Expedition standalone game / expansion for both of those.
  • The Scythe versus Expeditions and the 30-minute Wingspan one are both listed as Gen Con events.
  • So, if you want to play Stonemaier games at Gen Con, you can kind of see here, there are some Wingspan games, new Sharks and Reefs, and the Scythe versus Expeditions.
  • The summer release in the mini expansion, so that's going to be 21 superhero and supervillain cards in the pack. So, you'll have three of them to choose from instead of two.
  • It is on Board Game Arena, if you didn't already know.
  • So, always fun when you get a new Gloomhaven newsletter if you're into the challenges.
  • I love Gloomhaven.
  • It was my favorite game last year cuz I love story building, but man, oof.
  • It I don't always get to the table as I feel like it's just such a time commitment.
  • So, obviously, Forgotten Circles and Fins and Fish are already here.
  • Jaws of the Lion versus versus expeditions is Q3.
  • Bones is supposed to be here in Q4. It is currently in components, it says here.
  • And then Code Name Deep is supposed to be quarter one of next year. Not sure what that is, but that is in the graphic design.
