Covert is a game where players take on the roles of spies working covert-

ly to accomplish missions. Over several rounds, players will collect the

equipment needed and deploy their agents all across Europe in an eort

to complete these missions. Utilize your assets. Make your move. Don’t

let anyone stand in your way.

1. Place the board in the middle of the table.

2. Each player is dealt a random Character Card (or players can

choose if they all agree). This shows the leader of their group of

spies, and will give each player a special ability that only they

possess. Each player takes a Player Screen, and the following in

their chosen color: 5 Dice, 3 Agent pawns, 1 Reroll Token, and 15

Intel Cubes.

3. Shue the Agency Cards. Each player, in turn, will draw three

cards and place an Agent in the matching city.

This is their starting position.

TWO-PLAYER GAME ONLY: Take six Intel Cubes of each of the

unused colors. Next, draw 12 Agency Cards, one at a time, and

place one of these cubes in the matching city, alternating colors.

4. Once all players have placed their Agents, reshue all of the

Agency Cards together and deal each player two cards (which

they keep secret in their hands).

5. Deal six face-up Agency Cards, one at a time, in the Region Spac-

es along the edge of the board. Place the remainder of the deck

face-down near these six cards as a draw deck.

6. Shue and deal each player three Mission Cards. Each player

chooses two of these, places them behind his screen, and returns

the remaining card to the bottom of the deck. Place the deck

face-down near the board. Flip the top three cards face-up next

to the draw deck.

7. Shue the Code Cards and deal two to each player. Split the

remaining cards into two decks of approximately equal size,

and place them face-down (Equipment side up) near the board.

Players keep their Code Cards hidden behind their screen (Code

side up).

8. Shue the Cipher Tokens and randomly place them in two lines

of six tiles each.

9. Place the Turn Order Tokens next to the board. You will need

one for each player in the game (i.e., in a three player game, use

numbers one through three). Return the remaining tokens to the

box. Stack the tokens in numerical order, so that the number 1 is

on top of the stack.

10. Put all of the Special Operations Tokens into the bag. Place the

bag on the table, near the Special Operations folder shown on

the board.

To determine the start player, all players roll their dice in front of them,

and the player who rolled the most dice of a single number goes ﬁrst.

If there is a tie, the tied player with the highest total value of dice goes

ﬁrst. Alternatively, the player who says “I am a super secret super spy”

in the best Sean Connery voice goes ﬁrst.

If placing on one of the four Action Circles, a die must be placed on

an open space and the face of the die must match the space where it is

placed. If there is already a die on that Action Circle, then any new

dice placed must be adjacent to a die already on the circle.

Example: Sam wants to move his

Agents this round, so he needs to

place a die on the Movement Ac-

tion Circle. Since a 2 has already

been placed here, he would need

to place a 1 or a 3.

Any die can be placed on the Special

Operations folder. The number on the

die does not matter, and any number of

dice can be placed on this space.

When a player places a die on the Special

Operations folder, they immediately

draw one Special Operations Token from

the bag and place it behind their screen.

The player will be able to activate its

special ability on a future turn.

When used, return the token to

the bag. See Special Operations

for more information.

Dice placed on the Decoder will be

used in order to break a Code. See

Break Codes for more information.

NOTE: If this is your ﬁrst time playing Covert, you should read the entire

rulebook, but you can ignore the attached white notes on each page.

These attached white notes are a summary of the game rules and are

meant to help refresh your memory on the rules and as an aid when

teaching the game to new players.

The game is played over multiple rounds, and each round is played in

the following order:

All players simultaneously roll their dice in their play area, and place

them so they are visible to all players. (It is helpful for each player to

then line up their dice in numerical order.)

NOTE: Each player has one Reroll Token that can be used at any

time during the game. To use it, the player discards the token from

the game and rerolls as many of their dice as they would like.

Starting with the player who was last in turn order the previous round

(or the start player in the ﬁrst round), and continuing clockwise around

the table, each player will place one die at a time onto the board. Dice

are placed on the spaces on the four Action Circles, the Special Opera-

tions folder, or on the Decoder.

OR OR

6 and 1 in the top row of the below example could be swapped). Al-

though the numbers on the ends of rows can be swapped, they are

not considered adjacent for the purpose of breaking a code.

- If they had placed any dice on the Decoder, they may place them on

top of Cipher Tiles, thus changing the number to whatever the die

shows.

- If they were able to break a Code, they place the completed Code

Card (Equipment side up) next to their Character Card.

Whether they were able to break any Codes or not, any dice placed here

are taken back into their play area for use in the next round.

NOTE: Each die can only be used to break a single code.

- Lastly, they draw new Code Cards to replace any that were complet-

ed and place them behind their screen. When drawing new Code

Cards, they may choose from either of the decks.

Example: Carrie has a Code Card showing 1 6 4. During the Roll and

Place Dice phase she had placed a die showing a 1 on the Decoder.

The Cipher Tokens currently show the following:

After all players have had a chance to Break Codes, move to the Dice

Resolution phase.

On her turn, she swaps the

positions of the 5 in the top row

and the 6 in the bottom row.

She then places her 1 die that

she had placed on the Decoder

on top of the leftmost 4 in the

top row, thus changing it to a 1.

When it is a player’s turn to place a die, if they have no dice to place or

do not wish to place any more dice, then they instead take the Turn Or-

der Token with the lowest number available. This will be their position

in turn order for the Break Codes phase and the Dice Resolution phase.

Once a player takes a Turn Order Token, they can no longer place dice

this round.

After all players have taken a Turn Order Marker, then move to the

Break Codes phase.

Starting with the player with the #1 Turn Order

Token, and continuing in turn order, each player

tries to break the codes shown on their Code Cards.

Each player has two Code Cards, each with a series of numbers on them.

In order to break a code, the player needs to get the Cipher Tiles into the

correct order. In turn order, each player will attempt to break their codes

in the following way:

- They may swap the position of two adjacent Cipher Tiles one time.

Tiles are adjacent if they are next to each other in the same row, or

if they are directly above and below each other in separate rows.

The numbers on the ends of each row can also be swapped (i.e., the

She now has 1 6 4 in order and breaks her Code Card as described above.

* If the Mission requires certain Equipment, the player must discard

the needed Agency Card(s).

* If the Mission shows a city name, then the player must have an

Agent in that city.

* If the Mission shows a Region symbol, then the player must have

an Agent in any city in that Region.

* If the Mission shows an Agency Card icon, then the player must

discard any Agency Card.

Example: Nick is completing the

Mission Card shown. To do so,

he shows that he has an Agent in

the city of Venice, an Agent in a

city in the orange Region, and he

discards an Agency Card with a

Recording Device on it.

ACTION: Completing a single Mission is considered an Action.

Starting with the player with the #1 Turn Order Token, and continuing

in turn order, each player performs one Action on their turn. Dice can be

resolved in any order. To track Actions, simply remove your dice from

the Action Circle as you take an action. Actions can be a single die, or

multiple dice, depending on where they were placed (see below). This

continues until all players have resolved all of their dice.

Agency Cards taken are kept secret in a player’s hand. Players have a

hand limit of seven Agency Cards, and must discard down to seven at

any time that they exceed the limit.

Agency Cards show three dierent pieces of information: a piece of

Equipment, a ﬂight tag for a speciﬁc city, and a Special Ability. Each

Agency Card can be used as one of these things.

* Equipment: Discarded to complete

a Mission (see Complete Mission)

* City: Discarded to ﬂy an Agent

to the city shown on the card

* Special Ability: Discarded to

activate the Special Ability

(see Special Operations)

Whichever way an Agency Card is used, it is discarded immediately. Fly-

ing to a city and the Special Operations are done on a player’s turn, and

are in addition to their normal turn of placing or resolving dice. There is

no limit to the number of Special Operations and Fly Actions that can be

performed.

For each die in the Agency Card Circle, a play-

er can take one face-up Agency Card. In order

to take an Agency Card, the player must have

an Agent in a city matching the Region Space

where the card is.

Example: Sam has one die in the Agency Card Circle. He has agents

in London, Bonn, and Rome, so he could draw the card from either the

Purple or Green Region Spaces.

A player may instead choose to use two dice on the Agency Card Circle

in order to draw any one face-up Agency Card, or one from the face-

down draw deck.

ACTION: Drawing a single card is considered an Action. Based on

which card is drawn, the Action could use either one or two dice, as

described above.

After drawing a card, immediately replace it with the top card from the

draw deck. If the draw deck runs out, shue the discard pile and form a

new draw deck.

Moveet

For each die on the Movement Action Circle,

a player can move each of their Agents one

space (connected city). When an Agent leaves

a city, they place one of their Intel Cubes in

that city. If a player does not have any Intel Cubes left, then they do not

place any cubes at this time. NOTE: There can never be more than one

Intel Cube of a color in the same city.

Example: Carrie has two dice on the

Movement Action Circle. When she

chooses to move, she will be able to

move all of her Agents up to two

spaces on the board. She moves her

ﬁrst Agent from Berlin to Prague and

then Viennac, placing an Intel Cube

in both Berlin and Prague.

ACTION: A player can resolve any number of dice as a single Action.

For example, if Kallen had three dice on the Movement Action Circle,

on his turn he could move all of his Agents up to three spaces, or move

them one or two spaces and resolve the remaining dice on a future turn.

NOTE: Any number of Agents can be in the same city at the same time.

These are big cities, and I trust that you can keep yourself hidden.

When a player moves into a city with any Intel Cubes that are not their

own, they pick them up and place them on their Character Card. (Players

never pick up Intel Cubes of their own color.)

If a player collects their second Intel Cube of the same color, they imme-

diately return those two cubes to the appropriate player (or discard them

in a two-player game if they do not belong to their opponent), and take

the Agency Card from the Region Space matching the city where they

are, or draw one random Agency Card from the draw deck.

Example: Nick already has one green Intel Cube on his Character Card.

On his turn he moves one of his agents to Kiev and picks up a green Intel

Cube. He returns these cubes to the green player and can now take one

free Agency Card. He can choose to either take the card in the red Region

Space (since she is in Kiev), or take a face-down Agency Card.

Completed Mission Cards are placed face-up and tucked partially be-

neath the player’s Character Card and previously completed Missions,

and will score points at the end of the game. They may also provide an

in-game beneﬁt (shown at the bottom of the card).

* If a completed Mission Card shows a piece of Equipment at the bot-

tom of the card, then this piece of Equipment can be used to satisfy

future Mission Cards instead of discarding an Agency Card.

* If a completed Mission Card shows a Region icon at the bottom of

the card, then this Region icon can be used to satisfy needing an

Agent in a matching city or Region on future Mission Cards.

Completed Code Cards are placed Equipment side up to the left of

the player’s Character Card. Completed Code Cards show a piece of

Equipment that, like completed Mission Cards, can be used to complete

future Missions. However, if Equipment from a completed Code Card

is used to complete a Mission, it is discarded and shued back into the

Code Card draw deck, and is therefore a one-time beneﬁt.

Instead of using a completed Code Card to complete a future Mission, a

player can instead keep the Code Card in their play area, and this will be

worth two points at the end of the game.

NOTE: If a Mission Card shows the icon requiring any Agency Card,

the player must discard an Agency Card and cannot use symbols from

completed Missions and Codes to satisfy that condition.

Agency Cards and Special Operations Tokens can be discarded in order

to activate their Special Abilities. Special Abilities can only be activated

on a player’s turn, either when placing or resolving dice (exceptions:

Espionage and First). Activating a Special Ability is in addition to a

player’s normal turn. There is no limit to the number of Special Abilities

a player can activate on their turn.

+1: Add one pip to a die when placing dice on the Action

Circles or the Decoder. (6+1 = 1)

-1: Subtract one pip from a die when placing dice on the

Action Circles or the Decoder. (1-1 = 6)

Move x3: Up to three movement points to be used between

one or more of your Agents.

Espionage: When any player (including yourself) uses an

Agency Card for any reason (complete a Mission, ﬂy to a

city, or Special Ability), you may take one of the used Agen-

cy Cards into your hand.

Sneak Attack: You may place two dice this turn instead of

one.

First: This allows a player to resolve a single Action be-

fore the normal turn order begins in Dice Resolution, or to

Break Codes ﬁrst. If multiple players want to activate this

ability, the player closest to ﬁrst in turn order is the player

who gets to activate the ability ﬁrst. If, after that player

does his action, the other player(s) still want to use the

ability, they may.

Code Breaker: One additional Cipher Tile swap during the

Break Codes phase.

Search: Draw the top three cards from the Agency Card or

Mission Card deck. Keep one and put the other two on the

bottom of the deck.

After all players have activated all of their Actions for the round (i.e.,

they have all of their dice back), player return their Turn Order Tokens,

and a new round begins with all players rolling their dice. The player

who was last in turn order the previous round will place a die ﬁrst in the

next round, and then play proceeds clockwise around the table. This

process continues for the remainder of the game.

When a player completes their sixth Mission, ﬁnish the current round.

After the ﬁnal round, each player has the opportunity to complete one

last Mission Card if they are able. No other Actions are taken, and dice

are not placed, but Special Abilities from Agency Cards and Special Op-

erations Tokens may be activated. These ﬁnal Missions are completed

in the same turn order as the ﬁnal round. After the ﬁnal Missions have

been completed, the game ends.

NOTE: When completing the ﬁnal Missions, character abilities cannot be

used. Players score points as follows:

* Points on Completed Missions

* Two points per Code Card they completed and still have in their

play area

2+2+8+6+13+15+11+9 = 56

The player with the most points is the winner.

In the case of a tie, the tied player who completed the most Mission

Cards is the winner. If there is still a tie, the tied player who completed

the single highest value Mission Card is the winner.
