Cloak & Dagger (1984)

About this game

From the rules: "Cloak & Dagger is a role-playing game that will transport you into the shadow world of international espionage. Each player attempts to be the first to gain control of a ring of Spies by capturing them and bringing them to their headquarters." Despite the description, this is a board game that shares many qualities with RPGs.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
