Specter Ops is the game I currently rank as my all-time favourite. Le Havre held that title for a long time but had to be demoted to no.2 simply because it became clear that I would almost always choose to play Specter Ops, if others were willing. I am blessed cursed with an exceptional group of board gaming friends and will normally be firmly at the back of the field in pretty much any game we play with more than 3 rules. This is particularly true of first plays; I just don't get the games as quickly as my friends. Actually, I feel like I pick up rules quite quickly now (one of the virtues of playing so many new games) but strategy is a different matter altogether.
What all this means is that when I manage to get a win in any game, the satisfaction is all the more intense because it's probably been a while since the last. There does, however, seem to be one exception. Specter Ops; a wonderfully tense and exciting hidden movement game. My winning streak is now at 9 consecutive victories; I last tasted defeat on 20th February when Jon "Princess" Gameson analysed the cr@p out of me and I simply ran out of time. Out of a total 15 plays to date, I have lost only twice, both times playing as the Agent. This means I have never lost playing as The Hunter. Although the majority of the plays have been 2p, there have been occasions with 3, 4 and 5 players.
So my current score stands at:
Hunter 7-0
Agent 6-2
