The recent Spiel des Jahres winner and party favourite might not involve spelling, but you still need to have a good handle on words to triumph. Two spymasters compete to communicate the location of their spies, hidden in a grid of words, to their teammates using only one word. The trick is hinting at multiple spies with a single clue, without accidentally leading your companion to an enemy spy or assassin. Think of it as a cross between Minesweeperand Taboo, odd as it sounds. It’s incredibly simple and easy, but continues to be lots of fun time and time again – a modern classic in the making.
