There is a cooperative two-player version of _Codenames_ called _Codenames Duet_.

Yeah, we already played that a ton, including eventually beating all the suggested challenges. Fun game.

Personally I like co-op games that stop being co-op games like _Betrayal at House on the Hill_ (one of my favorites).
