Shadows: Amsterdam

Two rival detective agencies race across modern Amsterdam to collect three pieces of evidence and deliver them to an anonymous client before the other team. One player on each team acts as an Intelligence Officer, sending photographic clues that contain location information; the remaining players are Detectives who interpret those images and move around the city board in real time. Play is simultaneous and time-pressured, with asymmetrical roles: Intelligence Officers craft pictorial hints while Detectives decode them and navigate to targets. Police presence patrols the board and can arrest investigators who get spotted, immediately handing advantage to the opposition.

Nice little game to pass time when the brain is not up to something more complex.

I love Mysterium and Codenames, so this was great! Awesome art and theme. I wish there was non-realtime variant, though real-time is not super stressful either (perhaps dependant on the people playing). My only complaint is the orientation of the hexes becomes a pain to read from all spots around the table and hinders the gameplay every so slightly...at least for the first 5-10mins.

Fine game mixes codenames and mysterium but feels easier.
