Description

[Edit] [History]

While this game appears to be very simple, that isn't necessarily the case. The board is a oval movement track, with points allocated to the various spaces. Seven different colored 'spies' are placed on the board. When it's a player's turn, he rolls a die and then moves any combination of characters forward that number of spaces. The newly moved spies then score points based on the their new location. However, the trick here is that each player's color isn't known until the end of the game, so players are encouraged to deduce which color belongs to whom. In addition, there are some advanced rules which allow players to score more points at the end of the game for correctly guessing everyone's identity. Heimlich is a German adjective meaning secretly and slyly. So Heimlich & Co translates as Clandestine and Company!
