Vienna (2023)

About this game

Vienna is a re-imagining of 2014's La Isla in which players will search to discover spies hidden around the city. You are the brains of competing nongovernmental secret agencies in post-war times around 1950, steering your agents on the streets of Vienna. Your agents are looking for top-ranking whistle-blowers and their secret information on culture, administration, religion, nobility, and science. You send your agents to different buildings in Vienna to control the neighboring squares, where the whistle-blowers are supposed to meet you and share their secret information. It is your aim to track down and seize these items that are of great value to you.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 3.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
