Rival secret agents compete to stay hidden in the shadows and avoid having their identities exposed.

Gameplay

Aim for the lowest score by drafting suit obligations and playing cards into tricks to avoid taking scoring cards, sometimes capturing specific cards to erase past points. The tension is in constraining opponents’ options while keeping your own escape routes open.
