Decrypto

Recommended for Ages 12 & up
3-8 Players
15-45 minute playtime

Description:
Players compete in two teams in Decrypto, with each trying to correctly interpret the coded messages presented to them by their teammates while cracking the codes they intercept from the opposing team.

In more detail, each team has their own screen, and in this screen they tuck four cards in pockets numbered 1-4, letting everyone on the same team see the words on these cards while hiding the words from the opposing team. In the first round, each team does the following: One team member takes a code card that shows three of the digits 1-4 in some order, e.g., 4-2-1. They then give a coded message that their teammates must use to guess this code. For example, if the teams four words are pig, candy, tent, and son, then I might say Sam-striped-pink and hope that my teammates can correctly map those words to 4-2-1.
