The Target (2010)

About this game

In the Target, you are either a CIA or KGB agent trying to deposit sensitive intel to your agency's headquarters. Use cutting-edge espionage techniques to ascertain who is with you and who is the enemy. Assassinate your enemies to prevent them from talking. But be careful, the one you trust may be a double agent. No one knows who is on what team, and simultaneous play means figuring out who's out to help, and who's out to hurt. Build up access from Rookie to specialists but be warned... if you get stabbed, shot, blown up or worse... you start over as a rookie!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 4 to 12.
• 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 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
