A STORYTELLING BOARD GAME SET IN THE 1970s COLD WAR ERA.*
*SMERSH* is a portmanteau of two Russian words that translates to
"Death to Spies." It operated as a counter-intelligence agency by
the Red Army during the 1940s. Despite having had a large number of
paid employees, little was known about the agency until recently
when Russia opened their archives.
*Agents of SMERSH* is a cooperative Storytelling game that pits
players as UN Secret Service Spies set in an alternate 1970s
timeline against a newly formed and independent SMERSH. The game
will be able to accommodate play with either The Encounter Book that
contains over 1500 written encounters with a similar reaction matrix
to /Tales of the Arabian Nights/ - or played more simply with only
encounter cards with shorter encounters and no matrix. Agents of
SMERSH includes custom dice to determine success or failure of
encounters, and more strategic play from what is typically expected
of a Storytelling board game. There are plenty of James Bond
gadgets, guns, cars, pop references and detailed artwork - not to
mention a touch of humor. The game features the artwork of George
Patsouras (/The Resistance/ & /Flash Point/).
