About the game

What is Black Ops: Tactical Espionage Wargaming

The fast-play rules use regular 6-sided dice and a card-driven activation system to keep all players in the thick of the action, while the mission generator provides a wide range of options for scenarios, from stealthy extraction or surveillance missions to more overt raids or assassinations.

Stealth, combat and technical expertise all have a role to play, and players may select from a number of different character types – spies, mercenaries, criminals, hackers, special forces and many more – to recruit the best possible team for the job.

Players may also choose to join a faction – powerful organizations, intelligence agencies, criminal syndicates, militaries or rebel groups, each with a stake in international affairs. By doing so, their team may receive certain benefits, but may also find itself limited at a crucial time. With the variety offered by the characters, factions and scenarios, no two games of Black Ops should ever be the same!
