I played a few games of Codenames months ago. I’d definitely categorize it as a game that requires the right group to play with. A portion of the group I played with were alright, but then there was the guy who decided he needed to be the game master. Ultra serious. Pulled up the timer app on his phone. The game needed to be played right and he needed to win. I haven’t really given the game a second glance since, even though I know I should.
