Description
Your organization has been infiltrated by moles, nefarious informants from the enemy. As faithful agents, you must work together to uncover and eliminate all the traitors.
Infiltraitors is a challenging deduction card game with twenty missions. Suspect cards are set aside at the start; these are the traitors who must be identified by suit and numbers. Players must manage their hands to give clues on the suspect cards. Clues may match with a traitor by having the same suit or where the number is either a multiple or a factor of the traitor's.
As the clues accumulate, players may deduce the identity of a traitor card, but can you catch them all before the time runs out?
