A terrorist is wreaking havoc in Europe. Every time the terrorist leaves a city there is the possibility he has left a bomb, trap, or recruiting cell. If Interpol does not find the bomb before it detonates, then the terrorist makes progress toward his goal of instilling fear across Europe. The job of Interpol is to coordinate the efforts of Secret Agents, Bomb Squad, Special Forces, and an Informant Network to stop the terrorist from accomplishing his goal. It will take the combined special abilities of each Operative and the Informant Network for Interpol to win. During the game, one player plays as the terrorist and tries to elude the operatives chasing him. With hidden movement cards, traps, bombs and recruiting cells to use, he tries to outmaneuver his opponents and stay one step ahead of them. The operatives goal is to catch the terrorist and defeat him in combat. Along the way, they want to avoid traps, defuse bombs, and defeat any recruiting cells the terrorist puts in their way. But the operatives have to be careful. If they get too spread out, the terrorist might attack and defeat them while they are isolated.

The gist is that you are chasing down the terrorist who uses…
A Lot of Luck, But Fun Viktory: Terror in Europe from Morrison Games is a game of hidden movement and deduction. One player takes on the role of the Terrorist while up to three others take on the roles of the operatives- a Bomb Disposal officer, a Secret Agent, and the Special Forces officer. The gameboard is a map of Europe and North Africa divided into different regions by color. The Terrorist lays a card face down on the board and plants one of several nasty surprises upon it, also face down, including bombs…
