Flex your vocab while building your chemistry with others in this game of teamwork! With a minimum of three players, ideally four, you take turns playing as a spymaster or an agent. The spymasters have to use clever ways to link multiple cards together with a one-word clue, and it is up to the agents to identify the correct cards. The first team to uncover all their cards win! Beware, however, if a player accidentally picks on the assassin card, the team loses the game immediately. Players can also use any word related to collective past memories or inside jokes and references to bond with family in this simple but fun game!
