■ Product specifications

■ Product Introduction

[Game worldview]

Two rival spy organizations engage in an information war over the hiding places of their respective operatives.
Each team's spymaster (leader) knows where their operatives are hiding, but cannot directly share that information.

You'll need to communicate the location to your team's field operatives using coded clues.

[How to play the game]

Players are split into two teams with equal numbers and experience.
A minimum of 4 people (2 per team) is required.
Each team will choose one person to be the spymaster, and the rest will be field operatives.
Arrange 20 picture cards on the table in a 4x5 array.
Each card features a unique image with multiple elements, allowing for multiple interpretations.

[Game flow]

The Spymaster announces one word that is a common clue to the pictures that represent the locations of their team's operatives, along with the number of pictures that the clue represents.
The field agent must use the clues to guess the picture the spymaster intended and select the card.
If the card you select is a spy on your team, you are correct and can continue guessing (up to the number of cards declared + 1).
If the specified card is a civilian, the turn ends; if it is an enemy spy, the enemy team gains an advantage; if it is an assassin, the player is instantly defeated.
The first team to contact all of their operatives wins.

[Game Features]

The appeal is not just in the word association game, but in the interpretation of the pictures and how they are communicated.
Each painting combines multiple elements, sometimes combining two things.
For example, the hint "strength, 2 pieces" allows you to specify a bicep mark, and the hint "exhibition, 2 pieces" allows you to guess what is on display. Association is key.
