An exciting game of agents and assassins! You act as Spymasters and send highly skilled agents to complete a mission or thwart your opponent's goal.

The main objective is for a player to force his opponent to discard The Target card by playing different agent cards such as Sniper or Assassin card. On the other hand, the player holding The Target card must prevent his opponent from forcing him to discard the Target card by playing agents such as Police or Bodyguard until the game ends.

A player can also win the game by playing The Package card or get eliminated in the middle of the game by losing The Package card if he is forced by his opponent to discard it.

The game is dynamic as your mission may change during the game. You may be trying to eliminate The Target during the start, then may find yourself protecting The Target towards the end. The game ends when the (52-card deck) draw pile is depleted. But be careful, the player holding The Bomb card at the end of the game also loses. Depending on the house rule, a game may have no winner at the end!
