📖 About This Game

Singapore Edition of Codenames, using Singlish words in addition to standard English words. It contains 200 double-sided cards. About 60 of them contain words that non-Singaporeans will probably not understand, like Kelong, Angmoh and Samsui. It also contains about 40 words that are standard English words, but that have a special or different meaning, connotation or significance in Singapore, like Orchard, Causeway or Hawker. All the local cards have non-local reverse sides, so if you select cards randomly and a local card comes up that somebody is not familiar with it, you can easily solve the problem by turning the card. There are no overlaps with regular Codenames cards, so it can be used as a standalone expansion. Two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates only know the agent’s Codenames. The team that contacts all their field agents first, wins.
