Codenames: Blizzard Edition

Get ready for a frosty dose of Codenames! This special edition, the Blizzard Edition, is an exclusive gift that The Op Games prepared for Blizzard Entertainment employees in 2019. Forget store shelves, because this gem only circulated among the developers and office staff. It's one of those rare treasures for collectors and die-hard Blizzard fans.

At its core, the gameplay is the Codenames we all love: two teams competing to identify their secret agents before the other. One player from each team gives a one-word clue and a number, trying to connect as many words of their color scattered across the board as possible. The trick? The clue has to be good enough for your team to understand, but not so obvious that it makes them pick the assassin (or, in this case, an enemy agent or, even worse, the neutral agent). All this with the pressure of time and the fun of seeing the crazy connections that emerge.

What sets this edition apart is its theme and exclusivity. The words and artwork might have a special touch from the Blizzard universe, bringing extra charm for those who enjoy the company's games. It's perfect for gathering friends at a party, for unwinding at work (if you're one of the lucky Blizzard employees, of course!), or simply for testing your communication and deduction skills with a nostalgic twist. If you're a fan of Codenames and the Blizzard universe, this edition is a treasure worth seeking out.
