Face off in a stealthy competition of covert communication. Use a wink to signal that you have a delivery for another spy, then await their eye-shift that indicates the rendezvous location. Be discreet – if anyone intercepts you, the mission is blown!

Quotes (from this video)
- it's quite tricky to use these letters in a way that you can describe what you want to but without using any normal words
- I love the challenge of creating the words and also just the fun and humor of seeing other people's crazy words
- it's great and that will probably end up in a top 10 list
- these three penny papers games these are all rolling write games
- I'm afraid the red symbol on the dice just kind of let it down for me

Quotes (from this video)
- it's such a great dynamic in its information-driven setup; you are buying low and selling high and that extra insider trading twist means that you're always watching the other players
- this is one of my favorite party games
- there's backstabbing and it can be quite mean but I think as long as you go into it knowing that because it fits the theme I think people just really get caught up into it and enjoy it
- Onitama is my favorite two-player abstract game
- The Mind is one of the most fun I've had with some of my close friends; it really brings you together as a group
