Once all the players are connected, the host can choose which game mode to play:
Classic Teams
Classic Teams: Team vs Team
Players split into two teams and you can choose your card type:
Word cards: Classic text-only words.
Image cards: Visual cards instead of words.
Each team has a Spymaster who gives the clues, and one or more operatives.
Teams take alternate turns.
On your turn, the Spymaster gives a clue word and a clue number.
The Operatives guess which card(s) on the board match the clue.
The first team to uncover all of their agents wins, unless someone hits the assassin card and loses instantly.
Classic Teams: Team vs Assassin
Play as one team to uncover 9 agents before the game-controlled assassin reveals 7 of their own.
The assassin reveals its agents 1 at a time each round and never makes a mistake.
Tip: Give clues related to multiple words or agents to get ahead, but be careful not to give a clue that uncovers the assassin!
Party
A competitive, everyone-for-themselves experience. A set of highlighted words or images appear on the board before guessing begins, but other players will give the clues. Win the game by guessing correctly and having the highest points.
Case Studies
Play alone or against other players to guess the correct word cards based on the given clues. The game plays the Spymaster role.
