Codenames: Pictures review

Codenames: Pictures is a fun twist on the original Codenames game that uses images instead of words. The images are abstract and often surreal, which makes for a more challenging and engaging experience. It's a great game for all ages, and even people who have never played the original Codenames will enjoy it.

The game is easy to learn but hard to master. The goal is to get your team to guess all of your agents by giving them one-word clues. The clues can be tricky to come up with, and you have to be careful not to give away too much information. I find the pictures to be a bit more challenging than the words, which is why I prefer this version of the game.

However, the smaller grid of cards does make the game go a bit faster, which can be a good or bad thing depending on your preference. The game is also more challenging to play with a large group of people because you have to point at the pictures instead of saying the words, but that's just a minor inconvenience.

Overall, Codenames: Pictures is a great game that I highly recommend. It's fun, engaging, and challenging. It's also perfect for a group of friends or family. It's a bit faster than the word version and I do think the images are a bit more challenging, but that's part of the fun.
