marked. From 2 to 6 play and each takes one country <br> | |||
as his own. 6 cards are supplied, one with a "Message" <br> | |||
and the other 5 "fake". These are dealt out (and may not go <br> | |||
equally). The playe[r] with the "Message" puts it into his <br> | |||
"pouch" and each of the others puts one of the "fakes" <br> | |||
so that, except in 2-hand play, <s>the p</s> who has the <br> | |||
message is not known. Each player has four agents, <br> | |||
numbered from 1 to 4. At the start each is dealt a card from <br> | |||
a special red deck which contains #2, #3, #4 for each country <br> | |||
in the game. This card represents a double-agent. If a player <br> | |||
gets one of his own he knows that the agent is safe. #1 is <br> | |||
always safe. Then players are dealt 4 cities from which <br> | |||
their agents can start. One card may be exchanged with the deck. <br>Each player chooses two cities from which to start two <br> | |||
agents. They must be at least 7 spaces (the boxes formed <br> | |||
by 15 [degree] longitudes and latitudes, and no diagonal moves <br> | |||
allowed) from his Capital city. He chooses one of these agents <br> | |||
to carry his "pouch" and a number card representing this <br> | |||
agent is put in the "pouch". The 2 unused starting locations <br> | |||
also go in the pouch. <br> | |||
Players in turn throw 2 dice and move one agent up to <br> | |||
