What this is
Assign operatives to missions while avoiding enemy spies. The game is inspired by Mafia/Werewolf, yet it is in its core mechanics, which increase the resources for informed decisions, intensify player interaction, and eliminate player elimination. It is designed for five to ten players, lasts about 30 minutes, and has no player elimination.
