Who it's for

Duos who love tense, bluff-driven two-player card games with a strong Cold War theme and lots of reading your opponent.

Not for you if…

You want a multiplayer game or dislike bluffing and luck swinging a showdown. Strictly two players, and the theme is abstract enough that history buffs may want more.

Vibe's take

Taut and mind-gamey, every showdown a bluff over who committed the stronger hidden agent to a contested nation.
