Double Mission: Beyond the Object

Description

Double Mission: Beyond the Object is a light game with a heist movie theme, à la Ocean's Eleven. It is basically a competitive game, but with a dose of semi-cooperative element.

Each player personifies a "professional thief" who attempts to retrieve valuable objects (tokens) from various cities of the world. Each city has its own security level, which is represented by the number of dice a player has to roll. The special d6 die has one "fail" side and five "success" sides. For instance, if a player wants to penetrate a level 4 city, they roll four dice and all four dice must show "success" sides.

There is a unique semi-cooperative aspect here. If a player wants to penetrate a city, they can ask for other players to join the heist. If they do, each player rolls the dice, and the theft succeeds if any one of them rolls all "success". The main player takes the valuable object from the city while the collaborator receives points for compensation. If the heist doesn't succeed, the main player and the collaborator(s) receive investigation tokens (potential penalty points).

Players continue to gather valuable objects, which can be sold for immediate points or displayed to claim "fame titles". Whoever earns the most points wins the game and is declared the greatest thief of the world.
