Is this your kind of game?
A good fit if…
You like word puzzles and want a cooperative option that works with two.
Maybe skip it if…
You want open discussion of every decision or dislike ambiguous clues.
What you actually do
Each partner sees different information about the same grid of words. Take turns giving clues to find your agents before your opportunities run out, while avoiding the hidden assassins.
For your first game
Leave time to discuss the connections after the mission. That conversation is part of the appeal.
Allow extra time for unpacking and learning. The publisher’s play time is a guide, and your first session can take longer.
