    Description

    It is early July 1955, and Geneva is preparing to host a historical summit. The leaders of the USA, UK, France and USSR – the four most powerful countries in the world - are meeting to foster peace between East and West and to stave off the rapidly growing divide now dubbed The Cold War. Naturally, the summit will be neck-deep in spies, rumours and complex loyalties. But as head of the Swiss security forces, you must descend into this miasma of truth and half-truth, for you have learned there are traitors here, anarchists that would gladly catapult the world into lawless chaos. Can you identify all of the anarchists before they derail the summit and threaten global security?

    Each card in the deck represents a person who was actually present at the 1955 Geneva Summit, from Ike Eisenhower, US President, down to Germaine Goutte, French Personal Assistant. A pile of random anarchists is dealt at the start of the game, with the remaining cards acting as informants from which you might extract clues. A cunning series of icons lets you compare the front of an informant with the back side of a hidden anarchist to detect whether they match by suit, value, or as a multiple or factor of the value. By clever hand management and astute use of clues you may deduce the suit and rank of each anarchist. But can you find them all before your clues run out and they act?
