when your teammates overthink it in a board game

also on youtube

Something about this frame compelled me to do this and I don't know why.

This is just a video of every game of codenames I've ever played

The only time I got legitimately angry at my friends while playing Codenames was when I gave "animal 3" as a clue, with 3 animals on the field, and they managed to convince themselves that somehow "fur" (or something like that) was more accurate than "insect"

To be fair, Codenames is basically Overthinking: The Board Game, at least when I play with my family. Oh God, am I that guy?

Codenames ending friendships and disrupting families since 2015 😅.

You may think ProZD is joking. But I have had a person chose 'Saturn' with the prompt 'electricity.'

My Codenames experience is usually me overlooking a card that accidentally, but blatantly fits my clue. Me: Mammal, two. Them: Okay, well, dog is definitely one... Me, internally: *fuck*

Me ready to end a 15 year friendship when I say ‘witches’ and they bypass everything with ‘There are witches in ‘Egypt’ probably… but would she expect me to know that?’

I love the "You're riiight..." It's clear they really hadn't thought about it at all.
