What is Decrypto XL
Players compete in two teams in Decrypto, with each trying to correctly interpret the coded messages presented to them by their teammates while cracking the codes they intercept from the opposing team.
In more detail, each team has its own screen, and in this screen they tuck four cards in pockets numbered 1-4, letting everyone on the same team see the words on these cards while hiding the words from the opposing team. In the first round, each team does the following: one team member takes a code card that shows three of the digits 1-4 in some order, e.g., 4-2-1. They then give a coded message that their teammates must use to guess this code. For example, if the team's four words are "pig", "candy", "tent", and "son", then I might say "Sam-striped-pink" and hope that my teammates can correctly map those words to 4-2-1. If they guess correctly, great; if not, we receive a black mark of failure.
Starting in the second round, a member of each team must again give a clue about their words to match a numbered code. If I get 2-4-3, I might now say "sucker-prince-stake". The other team then attempts to guess our numbered code. If they're correct, they receive a white mark of success; if not, then my team must guess the number correctly or take a black mark of failure. (Guessing correctly does nothing except avoid failure and give the opposing team information about what our hidden words might be.)
The rounds continue until a team collects either its second white mark (winning the game) or its second black mark (losing the game). Games typically last between four and seven rounds. If neither team has won after eight rounds, each team must attempt to guess the other team's words; whichever team guesses more words correctly wins.

What the community says about Decrypto XL
Juego party por excelencia, con un punto de deducción muy interesante incluso para jugones.
Juego para enseñar a boomers y que digan "¡que chulooo, hay que pensar pese a no ser el trivial!"
#Decrypto es un buen juego, funciona bien, es divertido y, además, sirve para mucha gente. Sin embargo, es un juego que me resulta bastante indiferente. Aunque lleva bastante tiempo en la ludoteca rara vez ha salido a la mesa, no porque sea un mal juego, sino porque tenemos otros juegos por equipos que, bajo mi criterio personal, son mucho mejores. No me desharía de él, pero tampoco lo volvería a comprar, en resumen, para mí (opinión personal) #Decrypto es bastante 'meh'.
Very fun and easy to play. Best filler. Worth every few €

Nos pareció un excelente party familiar, Muchas risas aseguradas.
Very fun social word game. You're trying to give clues to words so your partner understands but your opponent doesn't. This can be very hard but very entertaining at times. Way better with 6 or more though, because with 4 there's very limited table talk possible. With 6 there's usually two people who can talk about their thoughts.
