Arriving at the Spycon conference to obtain classified information from your agent, you encounter an unexpected problem – all the agents are dressed in masquerade costumes, and it's completely impossible to tell who is who! Now you need to identify your agent by communicating with the conference guests and asking them questions, but counterintelligence never sleeps – do not let them find your agent before you do.
Spycon is a conversational detective board game designed for the competition between two teams of superagents. Players take turns becoming spies and each tries to explain to their team what costume they are wearing. This must be done in such a way that the opposing team doesn’t suspect anything. But it’s not that simple! The game features key cards and special cards with disposable effects.
To successfully complete this mission, agents use secret keywords and demonstrate their spy talents – resourcefulness, imagination, and artistry. For added interest and replayability, the game offers a choice between two sets of characters: entirely fictional or historical.
At the beginning, a board is formed from the cards with a start and finish. Subsequently, depending on where your team's token is located, various card effects may be activated: you might be given more attempts to guess or conversely, have those attempts reduced; you may be given a choice between two characters...
A round ends with the revelation of the spy, exhausting all attempts to name the spy, or when the timer runs out, which starts when the spy finishes their explanation. The team whose token reaches the finish line first wins. To do this, you will need to show the highest level of skill in the art of spying.
Number of players: 4–10.
Game duration: from 30 to 60 minutes.
