Operation Barclay

Two players represent competing intelligence directors in the Mediterranean theater of 1942–1943, one trying to hide Allied invasion plans and the other trying to discover them. The hiding player sets up face-down tiles to represent primary and secondary offensives; over six game months the seeker collects evidence tokens to flip those tiles and reveal the true landing sites. Evidence is earned through a card-based trick-taking system where players build five-card hands and bet after a three-card partial reveal, and through manipulating draw decks. Players may seed a double-cross deck to influence future draws or use a personal deck of asymmetric abilities—historical decrypts and agents provide special effects that shape bluffing and deduction.
