	Description Edit \| History

In this thinly-themed game, players seek to uncover the three spies who have their identities hidden. There are twenty-seven possible suspects, represented by twenty-seven lettered cards (with the umlauted O). Three of the cards are removed, as they are the spies. The remainder are dealt out to the players. Then players take turns 'asking' each other for information by playing a card with three letters in front of the informant. He must then look at his cards and place either zero, one, two, or three chips on the card, depending on how many of those letters are part of his secret collection. The first player to correctly identify the three missing spies (letters) is the winner.

Black Vienna card set

This is a sleek abstract minimalist Black Vienna card set. Just big black letters on white cards. Looks simple and works well.

Notes sheet with watermark

This is my version of the notes sheet which includes (what I think is) a pretty cool watermark of the box art under the grid to add to the theme. Simply print and fold in half long ways to keep information secret.

Black Vienna Game Cards

For use with my BlackViennaQuestionCards.pdf This is the other half of the game, the actual game cards which you are trying to deduce. NOTE: You don't need Monopoly and you need to rename "Catagory 5" to "6 Nimmt!" Thanks to Tom Kiehl for his tool which creates these cards from the BGG database!
