Count the points. An Interception token is worth +1 point and a Miscommunication token is worth -1 point. The team with the most points wins. The objective of Decrypto is to relay a code to your team as the encrypter, using clues which associate to your team’s secret words without giving away what your words might be, as each round the team has the chance to intercept your message and guess the code. If they get it right two times they win. How to be an Encrypter? Therefore, it is possible that one team receives a Miscommunication token (because they misinterpreted their Encryptor's clues), while the opposing team receives an Interception token (because they successfully intercepted their opponents' code) in the same round. Both teams write down the correct numbers for each clue in the second column. Then they note the clues in the boxes at the bottom of the sheet, grouping together all of the clues related to each Keyword number.

The Guardian called Decrypto "an addictively brainy challenge, and a brilliant light and simple game for big groups" and praised it for its innovative gameplay in the espionage-themed board game genre. [4] Awards [ edit ] If there is still a tie, each team tries to guess their opposing team's four Keywords. The team with the most correct answers prevails. In case of another tie, both teams share the victory!

Before the Encryptor's team can guess the code, the opposing team has a chance to do so following the first round. If the intercepting team succeeds in guessing the other team's code, they win an Interception Token. If a team manages to win two Interception Tokens, that team wins. [4] Following this, the Encryptor's team can attempt to guess the code. If a team isn't able to guess the code given by their own Encryptor, they receive a Miscommunication Token. If a team manages to win two Miscommunication Tokens, that team loses. Otherwise, the game continues until one of these two win conditions is met.

Comparable to the smash-hit Codenames, but different enough in its own right, this game is ideal for family get-togethers, for a night down the pub with friends or as a bit of light relief at the beginning or end of a games night – don’t let Decrypto go under your radar! The Note Sheet is double sided. Keep in mind that one side is for your team and the other side is for the opposing team. The edges of the Note Sheet match the colors of the Screens! Put away your Codenames agents and marvel in the true king of word association games; Decryto – a fantastic new twist on a classic theme which uses fantastic real life encryption!Alice reads her clues aloud and passes the Note Sheet to Bob. Eve and Mallory write down Alice's clues on the white side of their sheet. Both teams use the white side because the clues were given by the White Team's Encryptor. As you can see, Decrpyto has several elements which make the game have twists and turns such as its unique encrypted cards which are only revealed when placed in your panel. This, in my view, supersedes Codenames and is much more fun and family friendly, and given the choice been the two games I would play Decryto. One common problem with Codenames is the mass mix of cards which require high methodical thinking and strict rules. Decrypto removes this as you only have four words to think of clues for and the rules allow you to use names, slogans and much more.
