Talk:Codenames (board game)

This rules description is rambling, and makes the game seem much more complicated than it it. By including every possible rule variation, but without much organization, it seems like the game is nearly impossible to play. This is a great candidate for cleanup.

I disagree that this game has 'random chance'. The random chance element is limited to what cards are dealt. Most card games have random decks of cards and we don't consider those to be 'high' random chance games. The gameplay has basically zero random chance. Suggest removing that.

Sources, People
This article is typical of those on modern board games - long, rambling essays on how to play with little to no reliable sourcing. The sources are out there, and I'll start putting some in soon, hopefully. Any help would be appreciated. We don't get to have nice things without sources. Nwlaw63 (talk) 04:52, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

Trimming the Rules Section
In addition to the lack of sourcing, this article is not helped by an overlong rules section which explains every rule of the game. An encyclopedic article should only provide an overview and a mention of the key points of gameplay - it's not a rulebook. I'll trim this down at some point, but I'll give others a chance to step in or comment before I do so. Nwlaw63 (talk) 16:31, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi! I'm not sure I trimmed it enough, but I did shorten it and put in the key points. I did remove the message that said the rules needed summarizing, but if it needs to be shorter please feel free to do so. Little1133 (talk) 9:21, 26 June 2023 (EST)
