Specter Ops

About this board game

Specter Ops is a sci-fi hidden-movement board game for 2–5 players, with games lasting about 120 minutes. One player takes the role of an A.R.K. secret agent infiltrating a top-secret Raxxon facility, while the other players control genetically modified Raxxon Hunters.

The agent must attempt to complete three mission objectives before escaping. To stay hidden, the agent tracks their movement on a private map, keeping their location concealed from the Hunters. The opposing players must use their characters, abilities, and technology to locate and capture the infiltrator.

Similar to Scotland Yard, Specter Ops centers on deduction, pursuit, and hidden movement. The agent chooses how to sneak through the facility and when to use the tools available to support the mission, while the Hunters work together to narrow down the agent’s position.

• Play as the infiltrating A.R.K. agent or the Raxxon Hunters.
• Track movement secretly with a private map.
• Complete three objectives before making an escape.
• Use equipment such as flash grenades and scanners.
• Control unique characters with their own abilities and technology.

With both sides pursuing different goals, every movement can affect the mission. The agent must balance progress against concealment, while the Hunters rely on their wits and available resources to uncover the trail.

Released in 2015, Specter Ops offers a focused sci-fi pursuit for groups of two to five players who enjoy secret movement, asymmetric roles, and the challenge of tracking a hidden opponent.
