What’s more, Code Masters aren’t allowed to say anything other than their clue. It’s a game that will have you thinking to yourself “is that too rude? is that too far?”. However, you’d have to be a real saint to totally avoid adult clues as the game has a brilliant way of exposing your dirty mind. so many of the words they have chosen are perfectly innocent until they are put into an adult context alongside the ruder words. You don’t even have to make lewd clues, it is entirely possible to play a game with clean, family-friendly clues. Deep Undercover has a real knack for exposing how smutty your friend’s minds really are. When you play with someone you know well, there is nothing more satisfying than giving a tangential clue and having them get it because they know your mind. Rather than a finite pool of snap fit ‘jokes’, the potential for humour in Codenames: Deep Undercover is down to the players’ creativity, and so is unlimited. However, unlike Cards against humanity, when the initial novelty wears off there is still a game to enjoy. It’s a similar feeling to the first time I ever played Cards Against Humanity. Firstly there is an inherently immature joy in seeing rude words laid out on the table. Undercover improves the formula in two ways. The better you know your team’s minds, the more elaborate the clues you can give. Essentially it’s next level word association.Ĭodenames is simple to teach, infinitely replayable and as creative as its players.

The word relates to the words on the table, the number tells you how many words it relates to. Code masters must guide their teams to the appropriate words via clues that consist of one word and a number. Code masters are the only ones who know which words are which colour. Secretly, some of the words are red, some are blue, some are neutral and one is black. The game is played with two teams (Red and Blue) consisting of a code master and agents. If you don’t know Codenames, a quick primer. Even the innocent bystander cards got an “adult” facelift as well as a little backstory for each of them in the manual. Among all the dicks, wanks, and scrotums, you have perfectly innocent words that take on a deliciously rude context once surrounded by these newer risque words. Codenames: Deep Undercover takes the formula of the word association game Codenames and fills the game’s lexicon (deck-xicon?) with the contents of Urban Dictionary profanity, innuendo, slang, it’s all there.
