A Cold War hangs over Europe! A sustained state of political and military tension between the West and the Soviet Union has made the gathering of secret information a valuable resource on both sides of the Iron Curtain. As a spymaster for the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) you must outmaneuver and outthink your opponent in the Russian Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti (KGB). Can you unmask your opponent’s spies before they can identify your agents in an exciting game of deception and espionage!
Spymaster is a game of bluffing and deduction for 2 players. Each player is a handler - a case officer from either the British SIS or the Russian KGB, responsible for managing a team of field agents (or spies, as they were more commonly known).
The object of the game is to be the first player to eliminate all of your opponents spies.
There are three difficulty levels that can be played - easy, standard or expert:
1. In easy mode each player has one spy.
2. In standard mode each player has two spies.
3. In expert mode each player has three spies.
Over the course of multiple games players earn ranks that indicate how good an intelligence operative they are. Only a player who has achieved the highest rank can call themselves a Spymaster!
