I'm going to bring out the new deduction/party game Codenames to play on Tuesday. I've heard it described as Password meets Battleship and I'd say that's pretty accurate. Each team is lead by a 'Spymaster' who's trying to get their team to guess which code words on the board represent their team's spies. They do this by giving one-word clues along with a number to indicate how many of the code words relate to the clue. The more clues relate the faster your team can win. But if you're not careful your team might accidentally guess words that are simply innocent bystanders, the other team's code words or 'The Assassin' (if that happens, your team immediately loses).

It sounds a little complicated but it's surprisingly straight-forward, easy-to-learn and lots of fun so everyone's welcome to give it a try. It plays up to 8 (or more, actually) and I'm good going with a full-compliment of players. Games take around 15 minutes so I figure we'll play 3 or 4 games in an hour. That way different people can get the chance to be the 'Spymasters.'

GAME TITLE: Letters from Whitechapel
TEACHER: RTigger
START TIME: 8:15
DURATION: 2h

Get ready to enter the poor and dreary Whitechapel district in London 1888 – the scene of the mysterious Jack the Ripper murders – with its crowded and smelly alleys, hawkers, shouting merchants, dirty children covered in rags who run through the crowd and beg for money, and prostitutes – called "the wretched" – on every street corner.

The board game Letters from Whitechapel, which plays in 90-150 minutes, takes the players right there. One player plays Jack the Ripper, and his goal is to take five victims before being caught. The other players are police detectives who must cooperate to catch Jack the Ripper before the end of the game. The game board represents the Whitechapel area at the time of Jack the Ripper and is marked with 199 numbered circles linked together by dotted lines. During play, Jack the Ripper, the Policemen, and the Wretched are moved along the dotted lines that represent Whitechapel's streets. Jack the Ripper moves stealthily between numbered circles, while policemen move on their patrols between crossings, and the Wretched wander alone between the numbered circles.
