Tabletop Season 4 Day 3: Codenames

Yesterday, we played Codenames for Tabletop.

is something I’d like to see more of: a party game that breaks out of the typical (and at this point overused) “impress the judge” mechanic, while encouraging and facilitating genuine and meaningful communication among the players. Whether you’re new to the hobby, or have a bookshelf filled with epic strategy games, it’s a great addition to any gaming library.

Like Mysterium, it’s a game I had to play for all of one round before I decided it would be perfect for the show, and holy crap did we have fun playing it.

I played with Michelle Morrow, Ashley Esqueda, Travis Willingham, Jackie Kashian, and John Ross Bowie.
