CODENAMES: Critical Role Adventures

2–4+

Codenames: Critical Role Adventures is a unique take on Codenames inspired by the Critical Role universe. It reimagines the classic mechanisms players know and love in a fresh, unexpected way, transforming this game into a whole new Codenames experience.

The game is fully cooperative, with one player taking up the mantle of a game master (GM), ideally passing the role from player to player between missions (optional). The GM gives clues to their party members, leading them through perilous missions toward the final boss. Together, they can journey through three separate campaigns, each consisting of multiple branching missions. Every mission features its own goals and rules that tweak the standard Codenames gameplay—requiring the GM and their party to adapt and think differently to overcome the challenges at hand.

The party chooses three out of seven iconic Critical Role characters to embark on the adventure. The base game introduces Vex (and Trinket), Percy, Grog, Jester, Nott, Dorian, and Fresh Cut Grass. Players can mix and match these heroes before every new campaign, as different combinations result in distinct gameplay styles.

Playable heroes have their own cardboard miniatures to be placed on the words during guessing. Each hero also comes with personalized abilities that unlock as players collect XP from successful missions, and they can equip items that can be purchased along the way. To track XP, HP, character progression, and items, every character has their own character sheet. And yes, there is a D20 included in the box, as characters must pass their own unique skill checks that determine how well (if at all) their abilities are executed.

You’ll get the chance to undertake Missions that might—quite literally—blow your mind. Escort aliens with special powers, build crazy ships beyond human imagination, place bets, and laugh in the face of danger. Win the annual Transgalactic Trek—the most prestigious trucking achievement in the known universe—and join Club Gold! Or at least cross the finish line on a toilet seat, but alive.

If hauling boombastic or suspiciously glowing cargo isn’t wild enough, take it up a notch with some Supercards! After all, what’s a galactic mission without a good old Meteor Shower, eh?

We all know how important connections are in life. On your adventures, you’ll meet many high-profile VIPs and even have the opportunity to earn some serious cash by becoming their space taxi driver! Some of the prominent passengers just want to have fun, even if it means smuggling goods in pipes, boosting weapons, or flying away with a part of your ship!

P.S. Having quality life insurance is highly recommended—just in case. Galaxy Trucker: Do What?! is the second expansion for the new edition of Galaxy Trucker, offering even more opportunities to gain riches and new ways to destroy your run-down ship. This expansion features two big modules for seasoned truckers: Missions and VIP Astronauts, and a Turn-Based Mode for a more laid-back experience.

Twisted Paths is the final addition to the world of Arnak. Its major highlight is a new double-sided map, bigger than the one in the base game, that features two new research tracks, each with unique mechanisms and components.

On the map, you can choose to explore its daytime side and scale the white stone of the Owl Temple. It uses unique new temple tiles that, if combined together, can become extra idol slots, and a third research token, a lantern, that brings even stronger research rewards. You can also brave the night and journey through the dark caverns of the Spider Temple. This side uses a new resource, dark tablets, used to invoke mysterious altars and place artifacts directly onto the research track to be used when ascending the track. But beware—using the dark tablets can give you strong rewards, but also cost you points should you become too ambitious!

In addition to the two new maps, the expansion also contains new guardians, sites, and assistants. It also brings some solo content—Rival tiles for the new maps, as well as Purple Rival tiles and Rival Objectives, two mini expansions we’ve previously released online as print-and-play.

Lost Ruins of Arnak: Twisted Paths was previously included in the Adventure Chest, a limited-edition storage box with an original insert designed by CGE.

SETI: Space Agencies is an expansion for SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence that introduces powerful asymmetric organizations—each with unique abilities, strategic advantages, and starting conditions that redefine how you approach the search for alien life.

As the leader of one of these institutions—ranging from private tech companies to global research networks—you'll bring a distinct perspective and specialized tools to the mission, unlocking bold new strategies and rewarding long-term planning.

In addition to these organizations, the expansion adds three new alien species, each with their own unique twists, and over 40 new project cards inspired by real-world initiatives. These integrate seamlessly into the main deck, providing even greater variety and strategic options.

Quick Start cards, designed for use with the organizations, let you skip the slower opening round and dive straight into the action. They introduce an extra layer of asymmetry during setup and can be used to further accelerate games in lower player counts.

Finally, the expansion introduces Signal Tokens, a subtle but meaningful new mechanic that enhances scanning efficiency. 

Whether you're adapting to your organization's strengths or navigating fresh interstellar challenges, SETI: Space Agencies deepens the strategic landscape of your mission to discover life beyond Earth.
