In Espionage you compete with up to three other players to become the ultimate master spy. The objective is to recover hidden microfilm canisters and return them safely to your base. Each player controls a team of agents with different movement abilities, similar to pieces in chess. Besides collecting the microfilm, you can also eliminate opposing agents by jumping over them into an empty space. Points are awarded for defeated enemies, recovered film canisters and surviving agents, and the highest score at the end determines the winner.
