Covert Action

Our sniper shoots their sniper. Sounds simple, but who do we shoot? And who shoots? Players are secretly assigned to red, blue, or green teams and receive roles such as sniper, agent, cleaner, or mole. The sniper must identify and shoot the opposing team’s sniper, while the cleaner takes the shot if the sniper is not in play. Agents punish their own team when shot, and moles secretly work for another team. Open discussion helps players determine their targets, but teams and roles change each round, so an ally may become a target. Winning teams receive score cards, and the first player to collect four wins.
