Description
An individual, or team-based, lightweight board game for 2-4 players. Players are rival spies who use guesswork to break codes. A code word from an agent could prove to be a deadly intelligence leak if it’s not decoded immediately. Each 2-player team contains a codemaker and codebreaker. The codemaker uses a codebook to create a 5-letter word to communicate critical information to their teammate. The codebreaker uses a 5×5 wooden grid and colored plastic blocks to guess the shape of each letter, then decipher the word, once all the letters are revealed. The first team to decode the word wins.

For those who prefer to compete as individuals, an alternative set of rules allows this type of game play.
