How to Play

  1. 1Split into two teams, each with a spymaster who can see the secret key showing which words belong to which team.
  2. 2Lay out the 25 word cards in a grid.
  3. 3On your team's turn, your spymaster gives a one-word clue and a number, hinting at multiple words on the board that belong to your team.
  4. 4Your team guesses words on the board based on the clue, stopping if you guess wrong or choose to stop.
  5. 5Avoid the other team's words and especially the single assassin card — guessing it ends the game instantly for your team.
  6. 6First team to correctly identify all of their agents wins.
