26:16 - I remember the day when I received that email from Petr. I immediately went to my wife and said, "Honey, you're not going to believe this. I'm not sure I do either. But your Christmas present is getting published in multiple languages."
Oh my god! It’s so nice to hear also that part of the story!! Thank you so much, Scot! 🫶
I love that "Codenames: Duet" was a community idea, didn't know !
The history of the game that retired Vlaada Chvátil
This is an excellent series. I liked CGE before discovering this channel but now they're one of my favourite publishers. You're going to great effort to show the love you have for the work you do and that's amazing to see.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy it!
I like Eleni's pronunciation of "Spiel des Jahres". Seal of quality ;)
Great series! Just like all of hers, anyway.
Good job CGE!
Exactly what I noticed too.
thank you so much!! ❤ I did my best to sound a bit German haha

Díky za tenhle dokument o vzniku krycích jmen a díky za všechny skvělé hry, co jste zatím z dílny vypustili. Je krásné vidět, že se české hře a českému týmu tolik daří a dostává tu pozornost, kterou si za svoji skvělou práci zaslouží.
One of the first modern games I’ve ever played that dragged me to this wonderful hobby. So glad to know the story behind codenames ❤️
Eleni!!!! Wonderful episode, as always!
Glad you enjoyed it, Rennie ❤
Great episode!!!
What a great series. Very much enjoying it. I have followed CGE since the start and have almost all of Vlaada's games as well as quite a few other CGE titles. Would love to know what Vlaada the master is up to now
Codenames really is a perfect game. I have 585 game plays logged on BGG and there are even two people who have played MORE than me on there! heh I still play it weekly... several games in a sitting. The game never gets old to me. Oh... and the online implementation is fantastic! My group got in a lot of plays during those stay-at-home pandemic days... with us on Zoom playing away and having a great time. :-) The Duet version even worked well in a group, with us playing on two teams; it doesn't have to be only a two-player game. Codenames is easily one of my all-time favorite games and will never leave my collection. Thank you, CGE!
Big thanks to Eleni for such amazing documentary! And I was lucky to met Eleni on a very beginning of Essen Spiel and my first question was (no kidding): when will the codenames episode finally come out?! :)
And thank for mentioning Ukraine in this episode!
Oh I remember you!! Hahah see, it was soon after Spiel ;) Thank you so much ❤
@@CzechGamesEdition ☺
Thank you Eleni for another great episode!
Excellent Work!
A go-to game for so many people around the world. Thank you for featuring it!
been playing codenames once a week since 2017 and twice weekly since the pandemic - such a clever, easy to play game - so much fun
Thank you for this insight! It's my favorite game :)
Enjoyed this.
Wonderful. Something that my friends and I wonder is: is the success of Codenames the reason why we haven't seen any new Vlaada designs ever since?
This game indeed changed a lot for us, too ;-)
Nice! 🤪👑😘
Jason Holt be a very good rules writer................
my favorite game ever as an INFJ/INFP 💖
never gets old.
Why is there no Arabic language?
We could use a Codenames Palestine now... :/
