We perform visual search all the time in everyday life, because the objects we want are almost always surrounded by many other objects. This process of looking for an object of interest is called visual search.
#Shifty eyed spies game target series
Everyone assumes being a spy is glamorous, glitzy, gun-filled and great.We have all have experienced the frustration of looking for something we want, only to find a seemingly endless series of things we do not want. A bit of espionage here and there, maybe a stolen dossier or two? Martinis with beautiful people and a villain who monologues his plan right before you save the world. Does that sound accurate? Well, sadly it's a lie. Especially if you're playing Shifty Eyed Spies by Big G Creative. Instead, it's so much better! It's awkward, hilarious, and is a bucket load of fun! Gameplay It is absolutely none of the above, you've been deceived. Shifty Eyed Spies is tremendously simple! You are given a target to meet, and they have a location.
On your turn you need to announce who you'll meet and where. If you're correct, swap cards with them and put the received card around your player board.
Five correct meet ups will win, but you must win alongside someone else! At the same time, another spy may be trying to get your attention and you'll need to indicate your location for them to announce. To set the game up you place the four locations around the table at a good spacing apart in view of everyone and hand out three binocular tokens to each player. I'd recommend everyone sit so they can see everyone's face as well! Then, in turn, each player is handed the briefcase (active player token) and they collect two cards a target to meet and a location to be met at. Now, here's where Shifty Eyed Spies becomes awkward. You must get your target's attention without alerting anyone else of what you're doing. You've got to be sneaky, stealthy, sharp. This in itself poses a problem for some people. Did you know some people can't wink!? Neither did we till we played this. Luckily, a 'meaningful blink' will work just as well but a wink is the best course of action. Once you've managed to grab your target's attention, they need to indicate which of the four locations on the table you'll be meeting at. Once you've got your location, wait for your turn then announce who and where, confirm you're correct and collect your next target! This can be done through a nod or something of the likes, but it must still be done silently without attracting attention.
It is worth remembering that during the extremely tense atmosphere of espionage it can be quite difficult to get your targets attention, after all, they're also trying to contact another spy! Should you get tired of waiting you can refresh your target card on your turn. You may end up picking up your own card as the target, and that's a shame but can't be helped! You must wait for your turn again to draw a new card. You need to be on the lookout for what the other spies are doing at all times. If you suspect someone is arranging a meeting with a specific individual, or you know where someone is being met, you can call them out at any time by throwing your binoculars into the centre of the table (as dramatically as possible) and shout 'INTERCEPT!". You say who is meeting who and/or where they're meeting. Should you intercept their contact, you get that player's target card, if you also knew where they were meeting you also get the location card too! They then shamefully collect new target/location cards like the terrible spies they are. If you incorrectly intercept, you get nothing. You need to be vigilant throughout this game.
Eyes peeled at all times for any off winks or shady behaviours.
