]
A social game for 3 or more players, that plays in less than 1 hour
This game requires 1 standard (52) deck of cards, a timer that can be paused,
and the included cards and characters
Best play has around 5 players
The King of Pangaea has been shot! The legendary
Peacemaker was on verge of getting a treaty signed between
the Union feuding nations: Lorem, Ipsum, Dolor and Sit,
Amet and Tempor when the assassin struck. The hope of
peace is all but shattered by this assassination attempt, as
the King himself lies on the operating table, surrounded by
the best and brightest surgeons the global alliance of
Pangaea has to offer.
The players are all expert surgeons from these feuding
nations, who are cooperating to complete a puzzle and save
the life of the only man who can bring the world back from
the brink of Nuclear Apocalypse. But the wound is not
serious, and the surgery should be simple, as long as
everyone cooperates.
This may not be as simple as it seems, as a dangerous
Spy has infiltrated the peace summit, and may very well try
to interfere with this life-saving operation.
In addition, faith in peace is low, and everyone has
been given orders to negotiate secret alliances at the Peace
Summit, if war is to break out.
plays out this tense operation as a
timed card game, where players cooperate to accomplish a number
of milestones. Meanwhile they trade secrets and build clandestine
alliances for the war that is to come. O
knowledge will determine which Nations are ready for the war to
come.

: A game about small group dynamics. The principal game is sharing of information between members of a
small group. This is an exciting topic for me, since it makes game play and strategy as deep as social nuance allows. Players

An Inside Perspective
This is a replayable parlor game, but it was designed with the intention of
putting the players into a single, particularly unusual situation: creating a room full
of liars. This is
Scenario B
,
and it will only work once.
In A Delicate Operation the play is social and creative. Structure is kept to
a minimum, so players are rewarded for developing their own ideas. The spy is
literally allowed to cheat. Any way they can. It s a very creative, liberating charge.
In my opinion, the spy is the most fun character. So why can t everyone be the spy?
Because there needs to be order and structure?
What about just the assumption
that there is order and structure?
A delicate Operation trains the players to think the Spy is out classed, and
operating alone. Scenario B secretly changes that.
Scenario B

The normal game teaches the spy caution, careful mimicry, and fear of the

watching players discover the change during play is wonderful.
As you read A Delicate Operation , think about how your friends would
deal with the challenge of transmitting a secret code across a table in plain English.
How would you do it?
Roles
There are two roles players can have in
: Doctors, or The Spy.
Doctors
are skilled medical experts who are working to save the King in order to
prevent war and save Pangaea. Doctors can play any card during the Operation, and
they have the ability to undo a mistake during play (the full details appear on their
character cards).
alliances with other nations. This is done by exchanging a
secret word
with contacts
during play.
The Spy
is not a medical expert, and he has a disadvantage while participating in
the surgery (this is explained on the character card). The Spy is present to hinder the
life-saving operation, to tamper with alliances, and to make alliances of their own. Like
the Doctors, the Spy is trying to build alliances by exchanging their secret code word
with other nations, except any nation that allies with a spy is penalized instead of
rewarded.
A Delicate Operation is a Parlor game for 3 or
more players, though it does hit a sweet spot at
about 5.
The included sheets have room for 6 players,
though more can be included by adding on
score boxes, and making up
Nation names
.
The game requires a balanced distribution of
Doctors to Spies, it is recommended there be 1
Spy for every 4 Doctors.
Because players pick their own Secret Words
and the Public Keys are selected at random
from the deck, there does not need to be any
difference between players. There is no
Narrator or Game Master. All participants are
equal players.
