Description

--- Codenames: Pictures – Promo Tiles is a set of five tiles (two agents, three bystanders) that expands the game to a 5x5 grid, originally a Gen Con 2016 promo. Key mechanics include: - *Tile addition* Introduces two agents and three bystanders to supplement existing components. - *Grid expansion* Enables 5x5 grid play for Codenames: Pictures, versus the standard 4x5. - *Key card integration* Requires using key cards from base Codenames for compatibility. - *Promo distribution* Initially available via Gen Con 2016 purchase; later through other means. Codenames: Pictures – Promo Tiles consists of five specialized tiles—two agents and three bystanders—designed as a promotional expansion, originally exclusive to Gen Con 2016 buyers of Codenames: Pictures. By incorporating these tiles alongside key cards from the original Codenames, players can reconfigure the game board into a 5x5 grid, surpassing the recommended 4x5 layout to offer enlarged gameplay sessions with heightened strategic depth in word-picture association challenges. Future availability extends beyond the initial convention promo. ---
