Synopsis
You are a group of not very good secret agents that have been sent on a routine recon mission by your agency. Unfortunately, the agency doesn’t want many of you to come back.
Win Condition
For a player to win, the group needs to complete the main task as well as their own secret task.
Setup
Each player needs the following: • A ‘kill’ card for each secret task they have (see the variants for multiple secret tasks). • A sheet giving a list of places/objects the team have to take photos of. • A secret task card telling each player which members of the team they have to eliminate. • A name-tag with their codename on it. This will make it easier for players to work out who their targets are.
Gameplay
To complete the group task, the team must take photos of specific areas/objects/etc. Avoid chosing people as the targets unless you have some friends that are happy to be actors for this part. Set a time limit for the game, something around 10-15 mins should be enough but it depends on how long it will take to make it to the targets and take photos of them as well as returning back to the base. At any time a player may use their kill card to eliminate a target, to do so, they need to give their kill card to the target player. That player then returns to base and is eliminated from the game (they must give the killer their nametag as a trophy). You cannot kill off just anyone, it must be someone on your secret task list. If a player makes it back to base before the end of the time limit with all the photos and have completed their secret task (Have that players name-tag) they win. More than one player can win.
Variants
• Usually, this game should be played with around 6-12 players. If there are more, split them into two groups and make it a race. To win, they have to be the first team to make it back and have completed their secret task. • If you want to keep everyone on thier toes, give each player multiple tasks and tell them they have to complete a set number of them. They need a kill card for each secret target they have, make sure when sorting the cards that a set number of goals can be done despite other player’s influence.
