I would like to jump in on this. I've never played it before but I've read the rules about 20 times over the course of my life, and attempted to play online a few times with failed success (players drop out).

I've almost played the game on numerous occasions now. I even almost played it in person once and prepared myself for setting up dead-drops for secret communications, preparing alternate handwriting and pen colors for people intercepting messages, ramped up my spy strategies, etc.

This game is more elusive than my virginity was.
