Enigma: Beyond Code is a deduction game. Victory depends on your ability to understand other players' motives and find the cards you need - while keeping others away from the cards they are looking for. Each game lasts 5-10 minutes and it is best to play Enigma: Beyond Code up to three wins.

In the beginning, each player receives a character card depicting a cryptology expert who has arrived at the Agency's home to crack the Enigma code. But only one of them is the real decrypter; the others just masterfully pose as cryptologists. Each of them has a unique secret mission. To complete their characters' missions, players take turns looking at mansion cards; each of these cards represents a room or an object in the mansion. The invited experts work as a team, meaning that when you look at a mansion map, you have to tell others what is there. You can lie or tell the truth - it depends on your goals. Lying is always a risk, while telling the truth can make your opponents win.

The player who completes his character's mission first wins the game. If no one does this within the game's time limit, chaos will break out in our world and all players will lose!
