Portal Games’ Vienna Connection Pre-Order Has Begun

Vienna Connection

Portal GamesVienna Connection pre-order campaign starts now! A fully independent title, Vienna Connection, brings a new quality to the Detective line. This is a cooperative espionage board game and an experience that lets you and your friends take on the role of spies conducting secret operations during the historic Cold War era! Vienna Connection contains four unique missions taking place across Europe, including Vienna, Prague, and Berlin!

In this story-driven game for 1-5 players, you command a team of CIA agents during the Cold War conducting secret missions in various European cities. It is January 1977. CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia gets wind of Soviet activity in Austria and has no choice but to intervene. The CIA decides to dispatch members of their Special Activities Division (SAD). The game is on.

Vienna Connection is a campaign game consisting of 4 missions. It shines when played as a complete experience. Separate game sessions are less interesting if you don’t know, or don’t experience the whole story. 

The game is heavily language-dependent. You will read a ton of cards, reports, and files. It’s a full-blown narrative experience. The box comes with 100 pages of different files and documents! 

If you’re looking for a spy game and would love to outthink and defeat Soviet agent’s activities—Vienna Connection is the game for you.
