Publisher’s rules & information
  1. Find all of your team’s agents in the grid of 25 words before the other team.
  2. Each spymaster gives a one-word clue and a number indicating how many words it connects.
  3. The team chooses words one at a time; an opposing agent or a bystander ends the guessing turn.
  4. Find every friendly agent to win; choosing the assassin ends the game immediately in a loss.
