Read the full game description

You are agents, infiltrating a foreign country, and you must discreetly connect with your local contacts. You have their descriptions, and the Carnival will permit your operation to remain covert; it all seems easy… but beware: the counterintelligence services are on high alert! Each turn, wink at your secret accomplice without being seen by the other players! Your goal is for you and your new accomplice each turn to identify each other with a wink, but without being noticed by the other players. Each time you and your accomplice can discreetly recognize one another with a wink, you each score a point. Whenever you reveal the hidden connection between two other conspirators by intercepting their winking, you score both of the points they should have gotten! This is not for the faint of heart: You must act quickly, keep your cool, and be daring!
