Description

Heimlich & Co is a classic spy game that's all about sneaky moves and clever deductions. Designed by Wolfgang Kramer, this 1984 game is simple to learn but full of strategic depth. Players take turns rolling a die and moving a combination of colored spies around the oval track, scoring points based on where they end up. The twist is that each player's color is secret until the end of the game, so you'll need to pay close attention to the moves and try to figure out who's who. With two to seven players and a playtime of just 30 minutes, Heimlich & Co is a great game for a quick gathering or party. The lack of in-game text means it's language-independent, so everyone can join in on the fun. As you navigate the track and try to outmaneuver your opponents, you'll need to use your bluffing skills and keep your own identity hidden until the very end.
