In Internal Affairs, the line between right and wrong gets seriously blurred! Imagine this: years undercover in the police, years infiltrating the triad... the temptation of power, money, authority. Who can guarantee you're still who you say you are? Now, the mole hunt has begun! Everyone has a secret code hiding their true identity, and cracking that code is key. It's a battle of wits where you need to expose the enemy or, perhaps, switch sides and save yourself. But beware, because at any moment you might find yourself on the wrong side of the law (or the crime!).
The game is intense, with you trying to crack others' codes to help your team win. However, action cards can mess everything up, swapping identities and loyalties. You need to be quick and clever to avoid ending up on the losing side without even realizing it. Originally designed for larger groups (5-8 players), it has some extra rules for those who want to play with fewer people (2-4). It's pure tension and bluffing, where trust is a luxury item and paranoia is your best friend. Get ready to question everything and everyone!
