Product Description

From the Manufacturer
The hunt for the gems continues. Malicious rapids challenge the skills of the canoeists who want to get a good haul. The only hope for a desperado is to call the river spirits. People say that Bathing Beaver and Hurried Elk have already helped many adventurers to become rich and saved them from falling over the waterfall during a storm. But this also encourages pilferers who can now make a lot more profit.

Product Description
As in any spy story, the action in this game can be turbulent and confusing at times. The players search for top secret information on seven spies, hidden in a safe, which keeps being moved from place to place. Whenever an agent is able to crack the safe, more information becomes available. Each player is the chief of secret service in his country and sends his best agent in this race for information. The players should be careful to keep the identity (color) of their agents secret. The trick here is that each player's color isn't known until the end of the game, so players are encouraged to deduce which color belongs to whom. In addition, there are some advanced rules which allow players to score more points at the end of the game for correctly guessing everyone's identity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for all ages, October 17, 2006

By	Throckmorton Scribblemonger "Throckmorton" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This is a really fun game that can be played by young (8+) and old equally well. It involves a lot of keeping your opponents guessing as you hide your spy among the movement of other spies, while trying to guess the other player's identities. This is crucial, because if anyone gets figured out (as with real spies) they get severely held back. The game rules are pretty simple, and the game play is quick and fun. This game is perfect for the whole family, and only takes about an hour to play. It can be played easily by young players, and can involve quite a bit of guessing and strategy for advanced players, though still never guaranteeing them a win. Throughout the game no one really knows who's winning, except the person who is, and that's changing frequently. The best part is when the identity of everyone is revealed at the end. Very often every one will want to play again right away.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's a good intro game to detective for kids., March 19, 2009

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This game is a very basic game of hide and seek, most kids will enjoy it. I am talking about kids between the age of 8 and 12. This game is too simple to be a great game, it doesn't have a lot of replayability. You will get bored after 2 games. Might as well go for BANG! the card game, 4th edition is coming out in April 2009 so stay tune.
