"The game of Intrigue and Pursuit" Agents from every corner of the globe compete for possession of the priceless jewels that lie within the Casbah.

Imagine a black-and-white film noir à la Casablanca. That's the atmosphere. The Casbah is a maze of tortuous passages including narrow one-ways and barred gates. The police patrols it, but that won't stop us international spies/thieves, will it? You wander the Casbah, grab the precious stones and bring them back out. Running will get you there faster --but it tips off the police! Each player has one rule he may disregard. All players may move the police tokens.

A decent game that suffers from crude components.
