Full publisher description

The game board in Heimlich Co. is an oval movement track, with points allocated to the various spaces. Seven differently colored spies are placed on the board. On a player's turn, they roll a die, then move any combination of characters forward that number of spaces. The newly-moved spies then score points based on their new location. However, the trick here is that each player's color isn't known until the end of the game, so players are encouraged to deduce which color belongs to whom. Heimlich Co. includes advanced rules which allow players to score more points at the end of the game for correctly guessing everyone's identity. ( Heimlich , by the way, is a German adjective meaning secretly or slyly.)
