Specter Ops
A lone covert operative infiltrates a high-security facility to complete three objectives while genetically enhanced hunters try to locate and capture them. Players choose either the infiltrator, who records hidden movement on a private map and uses gadgets to remain undetected, or one of several hunter characters, who combine unique abilities, teamwork and equipment to track the intruder. Play centers on hidden movement and deduction: the infiltrator plots secret routes and employs items such as flash grenades and scanners, while hunters interpret limited clues, coordinate searches and deploy technology to close in before the operative escapes.

Modern Assymetric Deduction Game, pretty much like Whitechapel but on Sci-Fi theme. Faster and more dynamic, but not my favourite genre.
Evan2.5 This game is like playing hide and go seek with special asymmetrical powers. One player plays the spy, and has to get in and out of the complex without being killed by the other players. The spy records his movement on a paper sheet, so the players only get to see him on the board when they actually find him. With 5 players, one player is also secretly a traitor which was interesting. The spy gets to know who the traitor is, and gets to lie about if the traitor sees him or not. This game is great fun, but we had a ton of rules questions throughout the game. The rulebook is not nearly enough. Not even close. Thank god for BGG rules forums. Otherwise this wouldn't be remotely playable. :nostar: Art, Iconography and components functional :star: Clever or interesting mechanisms :star: Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players :nostar: Multiple plays stay interesting :star: Low or mitigatable luck elements :star::nostar::nostar::nostar::nostar: Raw enjoyment
