The humor shouldn’t come from seeing a card that says “tit”. Half of the cards for this game were exactly what I think this game should have been. Maybe that’s why they didn’t include the sand timer. In fact, they actually use so many synonyms for some of these that it actually becomes quite difficult to think of another word that you could use as a hint. Because, and lets be honest, how many cards are needed that talk about “poop”? Or “breasts”? Now, I’m sure some of you are rattling off twenty or more ideas for both of those examples but do remember, Codenames only use one word on their cards. Sure, cards like “slut” and “gangbang” blew by subtlety but at least they went straight for the Adult route that this game promotes.
There are other topics that they tried their hand at. They tried to spare no one.īut CDU isn’t just about sex. CDU does not cross the line with anything that could be deemed hateful towards LGBTQ rights or anyone’s belief’s and they do include their take on all orientations and terms. Would I say these words to someone’s face? Of course not but I’m not offended by what is included in the box. It also comes with new keys and agent cards but I don’t think anyone is buying the expansion for that variety.įull disclaimer: I have no issue with the harsh language or pushing the envelope and not treading the line that is political correctness. CDU comes with 195 new cards (which is 390 new words) that are more adult orientated and deal with topics such as sex, slang, genital and reproductive regions, swear words, drugs, alcohol and bodily functions. More precisely, the content on those cards. So what is the difference between the base game and CDU? The cards. I wonder why it was omitted, especially as this can function as a stand alone game? One glaring omission, to me at least, is that no sand timer was included in this game. It can be played just like the base game at two or three players but again, this is better at the higher player counts. The box says 4 – 8 players but that’s not true. The game itself plays no differently from the base Codenames. I’ll be blunt right out of the gate: it falls flat. We have played it twice as a stand alone and every other time we just combined it with the base game.Ĭodenames: Deep Undercover (CDU for short) is like a “Cards Against Humanity”/Adult party game combined with the winning formula provided by the base game. This expansion can be used as a stand alone game or can be paired with the original base game. Codenames: Deep Undercover is an expansion to the smash hit Codenames, which you can find my thoughts on here.
