Secret police
Do you know and like Secrets ? Great! In the two-person version of the Harry Potter world, you can find yourself on Diagon Alley. As members of the Order of the Phoenix, you will have to find 15 other sorcerers who are favorable to you. However, it will not be easy. Among the 25 possible locations (standard 5 × 5 square), there are 3 that hide Death Eaters. Selecting any of them ends the game immediately. Neutral squares are representatives of the Ministry of Magic. They won’t hurt anyone, but they’ll stop the movement.
The most interesting as always are the cards. On one side there are movie stills, objects and characters, and on the other side there are words. Most of them correspond exactly to what is presented in the picture, but in the case of a hero using a spell, for example, on the back you will find the name of the spell. The cards can be alternated, using only words or only graphics. The two-person basic version was too simple for me, but the thematic version is more difficult. For those familiar with movies, there may be too many associations. They can be linked exactly by what the fields present, the parts they come from, the likes of the players and very individual preferences and opinions, so often different in the perception of books or films.
The biggest downside? The game is intended for two people, although it can be played in groups. However, if you have any version of the standard Undercover and you cannot imagine a game with less than 4 players – nothing is lost! We take the key cards from another box and play as a full-fledged version for more people. – Katarzyna Satława
