A game of espionage and intrigue. The 2 super powers of the world meet in one city. Only The Wall separates them.

Move your agents through the streets of Berlin, avoiding dangers and traps. Go over The Wall and into your enemy’s embassy.

Enter your opponent's embassy first, to win.

On the side of the outer box are the names of some of the most famous agents, double agents and prisoner exchanges of the Cold war era, including Philby, Maclean, Blunt, Sharansky, Karpov and Daniloff.

The board shows a detailed street plan showing East and West with The Wall and the infamous checkpoint Charlie crossing. It also includes a code index and explanation for ease of reference.

Produced to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Berlin Wall, construction of which began in August 1961. It remained a physical representation of the barrier between East and West until eventually broken down on 9th November 1989. Few would have predicted that such an event would take place so soon after the game was produced.

A rare and highly collectable game.
