Goal of the Game

In Classified Information each player is trying to deduce their opponent’s Code and have one card in their hand that matches one of the numbers in their opponent’s Code when the game ends.

Game turn

1- Draw a card from the Draw Pile.

2- Play a card in one of three ways.

Deploy

Play a card for its Card Ability. Carry out the card’s Card Ability text and place it in the Discard Pile.

Encrypt

Play a card face down into the hidden Encrypted Card Pile.

Note: this conceals information from your opponent.

Enlist

Play a card for its Guild Affiliation:

Guards

Played face down into one of your three Guard spots.

Note: You may only have three Guards at any time.

Assassins

Attempt or carry out an assassination. Played face up and then discarded.

Sentinels

Can be used either as a Guard or as an Assassin. Played face up or down accordingly

End of game

The game ends when the Draw Deck is empty and each player has one card left in hand (“Final Card”). Then, all Suitcases and Guards are revealed.

If a player’s Final Card matches a number in their opponent’s Code they win. Guards block matching numbers in the Code of the Suitcase they are guarding, preventing any card of that number from winning the game.

If both players have, or neither player has, an unguarded matching card, the player with more Guards wins. If tied, share the victory.

Numbers on opponent face down Guards

You can take note on opponent's Guard when you try an assassination and it's failed. You can use numbers to remind which number is not in their code.

For example, if you try an assassination with a code like [3,4,5] and you miss, their code can't be [1,2,3], [3,4,5], [4,5,6] and [5,6,7]. In this case, you can highlight number [2,3,4,5,6] (the middle number of each code) since the suitcase number will not be one of them.
