Cold War paranoia has never looked as geek chic as it does in Red Scare, a new social deduction game that makes use of some fabulously lo-fi decoder glasses to allow some players to read secret codes written on its cards.
Most of the players are FBI spies attempting to sniff out the hidden communist double agents that have infiltrated their ranks in order to deport them. Only half of the players have decoder glasses, so the spies must carefully work out which pieces of information they can believe and whom they can trust.
The glasses themselves look like the vivid red and blue specs you used to get in cinemas to watch 3D movies back in the early noughties – rather than the cool blackrimmed sunglasses you get today – only with just red lenses. (Although, strangely, the frames are still split between red and blue.)
