Decrypto: 5th Anniversary Edition Game
This 5th Anniversary Edition features a new box design and 440 new words! Two opposing teams of spies enter this code-cracking arena. Only one emerges victorious! In this veritable verbal volley, each team sits opposite their 4 privy "code words." These 4 words match to numbers 1-4. To begin a round, each Encrypter (one per team) draws a card with a 3-character sequence, such as "4-1-2." Suppose White Team has these words in order 1-4: "Bottle," "Camera," "Egg," and "Tape." The White Encrypter may think of saying the following clues: "Sticky," "Glass," and "Picture." Other players on the team then guess the intended sequence. If the revealed sequence matches the team's guess, no penalty is given – but if the guess is wrong, the team gets a miscommunication token! Two tokens and that team loses.
Meanwhile, Black Team makes a note of the clues and sequence; in this way, both teams keep a running tally of their own and their opponent's clues. In future rounds, this becomes important as each team gets the first chance to "intercept" the other team's sequence! Successfully intercepting two messages earns that team a win. Compared to Codenames, this provides an interesting twist on word-guessing: Encrypters must make their clues obvious enough for their own team to guess, but vague enough to prevent the opposing team from intercepting the sequence! Encrypters can also use phrases or other "passcodes" (within the realm of reason) to further obscure intent. Overall, a fantastic party game for any synonym sleuth! For 3-8 players, with a 15-45-minute playtime.
The ultimate deduction game is back in a new, special edition. The #1 Party Game on BGG is celebrating its 5th birthday! Addictive as always, it now comes in an attractive black box with gold highlights.
In addition to its new look, there are 440 new words to breathe new life into this classic and extend its replayability.
Your mission: transmit secret codes to your teammates without letting the opposing team intercept.
Decrypto pits two teams against each other. The general idea of the game is to transmit information to your own team without the other team understanding. To win you have to walk a fine line: The instructions you give need to be clear enough for your teammates to understand, while at the same time obscure enough to baffle your adversaries!
Each round, both teams appoint one of their members to be the Encryptor, whose job is to transmit a secret 3-digit code to their teammates without the opposing team intercepting the code. If you succeed in guessing the opposing team’s code, you win an Interception Token. If you manage to get 2 Interception Tokens, your team wins!
