Operation: Infiltration

The story so far...

One thousand years ago an Emperor ruled the stars, and you were at their side. Planets quaked in fear. You were unstoppable.

Your people were ungrateful. Your Emperor was exiled to a distant moon, forced to spend eternity as a being of pure energy. You, a servant, were exiled alongside them. You were trapped.

Until now.

Yesterday, a small landing party from an exploratory vessel landed on the moon. Unbeknownst to them, you managed to possess the First Officer before they returned to their ship. You are now controlling their actions.

Can you convince the crew to change course and return to the exile moon? Can you use the ship to rescue the Emperor? Can you remain undetected? Maybe not, but you can’t pass up this chance.

This is a game about infiltrating a close crew to achieve your goal. It’s a game about navigating a social network. It’s a game about never losing focus on your objective.

About the game

Operation: Infiltration is a solo GM-less journaling game in which you will document your attempts to remain undetected and use the ship to achieve your goal. You will most likely fail, but success isn't impossible.

This game is strongly inspired by my love of a very popular Star Trek trope.

What you'll need

• A standard deck of cards
• A 6-sided die
• 12 tokens
• A Jenga tower (not required, but highly recommended)
• Something to record your logs (notebook, audio recorder, etc)
