War and skirmishes happen all over the world. There are organizations that do not trust one another. There are groups that directly hate and are unable to tolerate each other. Those groups play the war. Behind those wars; behind the veil of society, another set of skirmishes happens. Those skirmishes are between groups that also do not trust one another, but they hide that from the world. Those groups are playing the game of spies. Operation Espionage: A Game of Spies is a tabletop role-playing game where the players take on the persona of a spy, a member of one of those groups behind the veil of society.

The team of players can traverse the world as covertly or overtly as they wish to accomplish missions--how they create their story is up to them. The game is played using a Roll versus Roll mechanic system that keeps the luck of the game in the roll of the dice--there are no difficulty checks. Even the Spymaster will be surprised at what happens when playing the game of spies.
