Agents of SMERSH is a cooperative storytelling game set in the 1970s during the Cold War. You take on the roles of agents in a secret United Nations spy organization in an alternate history. You are up against SMERSH, a secret independent organization whose name translates to "Death to Spies." You can play a simpler version using only encounter cards, but the real magic lies in the 284-page encounter book, which works similarly to Tales of the Arabian Nights. Using this book and a reaction matrix, you look up specific situations and decide how to handle them. Will you use a special gadget? Will you run? Or will you solve it with a silenced pistol? With over 1,600 different encounters, the fun and replayability are guaranteed.

The game was funded via Kickstarter, raising 5x the amount needed for production.

The game is in English.
