SUMMARY:Codenames Game Night
DESCRIPTION:** PLEASE REGISTER HERE**\nhttps://trifork.zoom.us/meeting/regi
 ster/tJAkf-ysqj8sHNOquPK6qQPeR7OK6XVrrZDB\n\n--\n\nJoin us Friday\, March 
 5\, at 3pm GMT for a fun game night!\n\nWe want to start connecting and en
 gaging more with our community\, so besides our usual meetups we want to i
 nvite you all for a game night on the first Friday of every month starting
  with March!\n\nLocation: Zoom\nGame: Codenames\nHost: GOTO will be around
  to kickstart the game and split attendees into teams\n\nWHAT IS CODENAMES
  ALL ABOUT?\n\nTwo teams compete by each having a "spymaster" give one-wor
 d clues that can point to multiple words on the board. The other players o
 n the team attempt to guess their team's words while avoiding the words of
  the other team.\n\n--\n\nRULES OF THE GAME\n\nNote: We'll also explain th
 e rules during the event\, but having some prior knowledge on how it all w
 orks will give you an upper hand.\n\nCodenames is a game of guessing which
  codenames (i.e.\, words) in a set are related to a hint-word given by ano
 ther player.\n\nPlayers split into two teams: red and blue. One player of 
 each team is selected as the team's spymaster\; the others are field opera
 tives.\n\nTwenty-five Codename cards\, each bearing a word\, are laid out 
 in a 5×5 rectangular grid\, in random order. A number of these words repr
 esent red agents\, a number represent blue agents\, one represents an assa
 ssin\, and the others represent innocent bystanders.\n\nThe teams' spymast
 ers are given a randomly-dealt map card showing a 5×5 grid of 25 squares 
 of various colors\, each corresponding to one of the code name cards on th
 e table. Teams take turns. On each turn\, the appropriate spymaster gives 
 a verbal hint about the words on the respective cards. Each hint may only 
 consist of one single word and a number. The spymaster gives a hint that i
 s related to as many of the words on his/her own agents' cards as possible
 \, but not to any others – lest they accidentally lead their team to cho
 ose a card representing an innocent bystander\, an opposing agent\, or the
  assassin.\n\nThe hint's word can be chosen freely\, as long as it is not 
 (and does not contain\, nor is contained in) any of the words on the code 
 name cards still showing at that time. Code name cards are covered as gues
 ses are made.\n\nThe hint's number tells the field operatives how many wor
 ds in the grid are related to the word of the clue. It also determines the
  maximum number of guesses the field operatives may make on that turn\, wh
 ich is the hint's number plus one. Field operatives must make at least one
  guess per turn\, risking a wrong guess and its consequences. They may als
 o end their turn voluntarily at any point thereafter.\n\nAfter a spymaster
  gives the hint with its word and number\, their field operatives make gue
 sses about which code name cards bear words related to the hint and point 
 them out\, one at a time. When a code name card is pointed out\, the spyma
 ster covers that card with an appropriate identity card – a blue agent c
 ard\, a red agent card\, an innocent bystander card\, or the assassin card
  – as indicated on the spymasters' map of the grid. If the assassin is p
 ointed out\, the game ends immediately\, with the team who identified him 
 losing. If an agent of the other team is pointed out\, the turn ends immed
 iately\, and that other team is also one agent closer to winning. If an in
 nocent bystander is pointed out\, the turn simply ends.\n\nThe game ends w
 hen all of one team's agents are identified (winning the game for that tea
 m)\, or when one team has identified the assassin (losing the game).\n\nCh
