Top Secret

Wink and squint

Secret signals for secret missions! Each player must reveal himself to the agent depicted on his Agent mission card and then meet him at the location according to that players Location mission card.

For each player, card for his agent are in play; agent cards and location cards are stacked separately, and four location markers are placed on the table at generous distances from each other.

You have an agent card for your active mission and a location card for your passive mission in hand. You must contact the agent depicted on your current agent card and must signal the meeting point to the location on your location card to the agent that contacted you. You wink at the agent in your hand and he tells you the meeting point by looking at the location marker depicted on his location card. If you were winked at by another player, you must then tell him the meeting point by looking at the location marker depicted on your location card. Winking at players and squinting at locations can be done anytime by any one, there is no turn order.

If you hold the suitcase marker and did wink, you can complete a mission by revealing the card of the agent that you winked at and naming the location in his hand. If all is correct, both players keep their respective card for a point and draw new cards. You can also be accused – with consequences for whoever is right or wrong. If someone cannot draw a new agent mission, you win with most cards.

Very nice, well-made fun to play, and there is basically only one way to play – wink at your target whenever you can and squint very clearly and take care not to be caught1
