1955: The War of Espionage
Two players act as master spies during the Cold War, using their countries’ resources to influence six nations and bring them into their faction. Players draw from a shared deck and build card combinations to shift allegiances. Each card can be used offensively, defensively, or for a special effect, while positioning the master spy pawn improves card effectiveness or enables surprise offensives. Games take approximately 15–30 minutes for experienced players and 30–45 minutes for new players.
