Pros

  • Ready Set Bet Coup Decrypto Hot Streak Resistance Avalon
  • Here's what I bring for casual game nights: Sushi Go Party Decrypto Wits and Wagers Telestrations
  • Decrypto (it's a better Codenames in my opinion but Codenames is one of the most popular games for a reason.)
  • I would recommend looking at Tiny Towns, Decrypto, Citadels, and A Message From the Stars.
  • Decrypto is often a little outside of the average player's comfort zone, in my experience, and I have managed to get a lot of "non-gamers" to love (and buy) this game with my approach!

Cons

  • Decrypto is constantly cited as a game with a difficult teach compared to its relative low weight.
  • this is extremely over the top for such a simple party game. I don’t really know what to do with it.

The best part of Decrypto is building out a web of lies, a siphon of subterfuge, where your clues are juuust barely good enough for your allies to understand them

I am going to list all the games we have access to here, and hopefully this can lead to some more recommendations of games in this niche. Or this will just serve as a fun list for others, it's a good amount of games in rotation. *Word Games / Targeted Clues*: **Wavelength**, **Codenames**, **Decrypto**
