Spies: locations and roles
About the theme
The classic noir set: casinos, private jets, masked balls and secret labs. These places feel like a thriller, so agents can ask about dress codes, stakes and who is watching whom, while the spy has to sound like someone who belongs at the table.
This theme has 24 locations. In each case all agents get the same one of them, plus a cover role if the host turns roles on, while the spy only sees the theme name, Spies. Below is every location with the six roles the game can deal.
