Inkognito

Inkognito puts you in the shoes of a secret agent who must complete a mission together with a mysterious partner. At the start, no one knows their mission or who their ally is; each player controls four different figures (tall, short, fat, thin), but only one is the true agent while the others are friendly spies meant to confuse opponents. On each turn you shake the "Phantom of Prophecy" to receive three possible actions, such as moving along land or sea routes. Landing on the same space as another figure or the Ambassador lets you ask questions and peek at some of that player's cards, using deduction to uncover identities and code halves. Once you think you've found your partner, you swap secret‑mission cards, revealing the final objective that, if fulfilled by either member of the pair, wins the game for both. The Ambassador, playable by a fifth player in the 2013 edition, offers valuable clues to everyone but can also be leveraged against you; his goal is to achieve “perfect knowledge” before any team finishes its mission. The game blends point‑to‑point movement, roll‑or‑spin movement, and team‑based cooperation, all set in the atmospheric city of Venice, Italy. With a playing time of about 90 minutes and a light weight of 2.2, Inkognito is perfect for fans of deduction, hidden‑role intrigue, and a dash of spy drama.
