Spies! Spies everywhere!
Playing Codenames is like a stationary Charades. You need to identify your spy team to your team mate, without revealing too much, and before your enemy can identify their agents.
It's easy enough to look at the 25 cards, can pick a single, blindingly-obvious link to several cards.... but are they the cards you need to identify, and will your team mate understand?
By using single code words, and the amount of cards it refers to, it can be a simple game; however it can also be fiendishly difficult and it great fun.
We have played this a few times, and most of the guesses/clues have been for 2 or 3 cards - so "Engine, 3" could refer to parts of an engine, or items with an engine; however, if might be too a stretch if one of the cards is "STEAM", and there are also "MOTOR", "AUTOMOBILE", and "AIRCRAFT". So do I mean things WITH an engine? Things which move? A steam engine is much older than the others, perhaps it's not that; but STEAM ENGINE fits so well, hut I only have 3 choices...
The best single round was my wife and I - "Treasure 5", for the win. After a few minutes, all 5 had been identified, and we won. But dont tell anyone.... there are spies everywhere

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Bad Duke in Books
May 7, 2019
This is the first book by this author that I've read. This is an enemies to lovers story. This book is full of lots of steam and drama. The fake fiance story line was quite entertaining in parts. I enjoyed the characters, the confident women mixed with the bad boy. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

I really enjoyed this book, it had loads of suspense and enough thriller to keep me hooked till the last page. I really liked the story, which is based around musicians. this book is a roller coaster of emotions in every page. this book has plenty of romance with a bit of steam with the added thriller this makes it a fantastic read.

Entertaining Monster Dating Sim
So, I'll preface this by saying that I've never played a dating simulator before but it looked cute and I needed something to waste time on so I purchased it on Steam. The content is pretty original, definitely not kid friendly even though the animation looks as if it would be. The possible endings (but mostly rejections) are incalculable. Enjoying something different.
