Covert Action

Race for the Submarine Blueprints

Two or three teams are hunting for the blueprints for a submarine and to succeed they must eliminate the other teams. Membership in a team and the role in a team are randomly allocated among the players. Players talk to each other and observe the events until one of the agents decides to shoot.

Depending on the number of players a different number of cards is used for play, you always start with more cards than are needed and then you remove the necessary number of face-down cards to achieve an element of randomness in the role assignment. You secretly look at your card: The Sniper must identify and eliminate the Sniper of an opposing team or the Mole. The Bodyguard must support the Sniper and try to mislead the other teams. The Cleaner replaces the Sniper, in case the Sniper is not in play, otherwise he acts like the Bodyguard. The Mole wants to sabotage his team and support other teams. The Mole is not considered to be an agent and cannot shoot. The others can at any time point at a player, say „Bang“ and thus shoot at this player. This ends the round, the round is evaluated and blue print cards are given out. The successful team receives those blueprint cards, being successful depends on who did shoot and who has been hit. You go on playing such rounds with randomly allocating until a team has acquired a complete set of blueprint cards and thereby wins the game.

Covert action is an off-shot of the werewolf genre, but much more confusing, as you get very few clues, you can only gesture or talk or ask questions. Most of the time shots are fired randomly. The fun depends on who is playing!
