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

In Codenames: Pictures, two teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that ideally relate to several agents on the board. Their teammates try to guess agents of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team — and everyone wants to avoid the assassin.

Codenames: Pictures differs from the original Codenames in that the agents are no longer represented by a single word, but by an image that contains multiple elements.

Classic with a slight twist

Great game and a classic. If you have the original this isn't necessary and more for those really into codenames.

Lots of laughter

This game always creates a lot of laughter around the table especially when ridiculous clues are given. Fun game!

Not as engaging

For some reason pictures just didn't trigger the same parts of the brain. It was not as engaging as the original game with words. Still a great game, however. This can be played with multi-lingual groups and mixed with the regular game.

Better than words

Love this one. I'm super visual and the pictures are easier to your together for be.

Good game

Fun but I prefer regular codenames

Great game!

A great shedding game where you play poker hands and power cards.

Nightfall Lite but Not Nightfall 2.0

If you liked Nightfall, but thought individual creature combat was too tedious? You'll probably like this.

If you liked Nightfall but thought the game was too slow to ramp up, or too long to finish/hand out all wounds, you'll like this.

If you thought Nightfall's "Private Archive" claims ended to overpower the game based on luck of the draw, you'll like Unchained's 3x3 market grid.
-----
As far as deck builders go, I like Unchained. It will take awhile to really know the card power combos. The symbols look overwhelming at first, but are kind of intuitive once you're used to how the cards work. Combat is total offense vs total defense and result is one fatigue (wound). So no MTG-ish "creature 1 attacks player B and creature 2 takes 3 wounds against player C." It does speed up and simplify the game a lot. The 3x3 card market is brilliant. You can get cards you want and/or clear out cards you don't want your opponents to get. Much more variety of cards to cycle through than 8+2 archives = 10 cards to choose from per game.

Solid 4/5 all around. I'd give 5/5 if there was a happy medium in combat between Nightfall and Unchained. Not as super simplified as Unchained, but not like Nightfall's individual cards combat. Maybe a power on some cards "stays in play after combat" so there's a larger chance of different strategies than "I punch you, you punch me, repeat"
