How to play: First, divide players into two teams. Each team selects a spymaster. The spymaster looks at a key card to know which words on the 5x5 grid belong to their team. Then, the spymasters take turns giving one - word clues. Their teammates try to guess the right words based on the clue. Remember, avoid the assassin word and the opponent's words. Note: Make sure all players understand the rules before starting the game. Don't reveal the key card to non - spymaster players. Maintenance: Keep the cards in a dry place to prevent damage. You can use a card protector to extend their lifespan. If the game gets dirty, gently wipe the cards with a soft, dry cloth.
