I didn't realize Spione was even out, but Emily's review of it here makes me realize I will want to buy it. I was not much of a spy geek but the first edition of Top Secret fascinated my twelve-year-old self, with its glossary of espionage terms and agencies and stuff. It sounds like Spione has that kind of loving attention to historical and realistic detail, in a new generation of game. The cold war is generally remembered by kids today only in partisan and caricatured terms, but it was important. I might well enjoy a game about it.
When I think about the Cold War I always think about the musical "Chess."

Cool. My reference to "chess" I guess was an oblique way of suggesting that what'd be interesting about it would be stories about people caught up in it and dealing with it and each other, which it sounds like is what it's about.
