Agentenjagd

App-supportet spy hunt!

Agents use an App to chase after a spy and must find informants for clues and auxiliary items. At the start, players select a character, set out the board and the face-down action card stack, and then register with the App.

For each game, the App randomly places the agents and then secretly the spy and one informant on every continent. Spy and informants remain in place during the game, they do not move.

The active player has two actions in his turn, selected from the options Travel and Play Action Card; in any order, you can do the same action twice and can also forego an action. To travel, you press the app button of the vehicle - motorcycle, sports car, helicopter or jet, depending on the starting city - and move the agent. If you meet an informant, you receive action cards when you leave the continent; the earlier you meet him the more cards you get; four cards if you are first to meet him, one card, if you are last. If you have met all informants, you automatically receive one action card per round.

If you play an action card, you enter the four-digit code and the app announces the effect to one player or all players, for instance the distance to the spy. At the end of your turn, you secretly learn your distance to the informant on your current continent. Information from the app always relates to the location of the agent after your second turn action. If you think that you know the location of the spy, you travel to this city and then press the button “Spion fangen”; if you are correct, you have won.

A familiar, standard topic, freshly interpreted and well-made, restricted to the essentials for good, fun family entertainment.
