Operation Barclay is a two-player game of low/medium complexity about the intelligence war between the Allies and their Abwehr counterparts in the Mediterranean theater in 1942-1943.

With the Axis powers ejected from North Africa, there was debate as to where the Allies might strike next. At Casablanca (January 14-24, 1943), Roosevelt and Churchill agreed the next target: Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily, would begin July 9 1943 - but there was a problem. The Axis powers suspected Sicily would be the target, and knew there were deception activities in motion to attempt to mislead them about what they already knew.

On top of this, with Operation Husky already planned for early July, there was little time for Allied intelligence to work with. In these six months, Allied intelligence had to create sufficient disinformation to persuade their intelligence counterparts, the Abwehr, that the primary attack and a suspected secondary attack would be aimed elsewhere within the Mediterranean. This essential intelligence operation was dubbed "Operation Barclay".

Operation Barclay puts players in the shoes of competing military intelligence directors who are attempting to mask or learn the truth about the Allied invasion plans for 1943. The Abwehr must attempt to learn where the Allies intend to land next. The London Controlling Section (LCS), the core intelligence agency responsible for Allied intelligence, must prevent the Abwehr from discovering the truth.

The LCS player uses a variable set-up, placing tiles face down to establish where amongst the five geo-strategic options in the Mediterranean a primary and a secondary offensive will occur. Over the course of the six game months, the Abwehr player attempts to win sufficient evidence tokens to be able to turn enough of these tiles face-up to reveal where the Allied offensives will come. Every evidence token the LCS player wins prevents another tile from being revealed.

To win evidence tokens, players build hands of five cards to take tricks, similar to poker. While having the best hand will secure two evidence tokens, correctly betting after each player reveals the first three cards of each hand on who will have the best five-card hand is worth three evidence tokens. Thus, getting and bluffing and seeding disinformation is more important than being lucky with a card draw. In addition, each player competes for another evidence token by having the most raid or reconnaissance icons on their cards.

Further, players have ways to manipulate the decks from which they draw. They may create a double-cross deck, allowing them to leave cards useful to them face down in a deck to draw from when they choose later - unless the other player takes those cards instead...but perhaps the player who planted those cards was bluffing and hoping the other player would waste their draw on a useless card...

Alternatively, players may draw from their own dedicated deck to augment their hands with unique abilities inspired by historical figures, events, and capabilities. The LCS has access to Ultra - decrypts of German codes - but this alone will not be enough if it's not used carefully.

Incredible battery life, effective cleaning, a whole years worth of brush heads!
This is the mac-daddy of electric toothbrushes! I would even use it as an adult, it's that good! The designers of the Vekkia Sonic Rechargeable Kids Electric Toothbrush put a lot of thought into this toothbrush and have knocked it out of the park. The things I like most are: * The battery life. The battery life on this toothbrush is unheard of! It's been a over a month and we have charged it once. This is the perfect feature to take this toothbrush while traveling! * The timer. The timer makes it so that my kids know to keep going until the timer goes off, and I don't have to keep saying, "Not yet, get every tooth, you haven't brushed long enough." * The adjustable cleaning modes. One of my kids is sensitive to the vibration on their teeth, so they won't use electric toothbrushes; however, with multiple settings, it is gentle enough to not bother them, and adjustable to a stronger vibration for my kids who don't mind it. And I have peace of mind that no matter which one they choose, their teeth are being cleaned properly. * The size of the heads. The heads are small enough that the toothbrush fits comfortably between their gums/teeth and their cheek. Some of them are so big that it is uncomfortable and hard to use, especially on the back teeth. This toothbrush is designed for an effective and comfortable brushing experience. * This toothbrush is durable. Unfortunately our toothbrush has been dropped onto our tile, and knocked off the counter once. Fortunately, this toothbrush was designed for kids, understanding accidents can happen, and it endured all of that without any cracks, dings, or signs of a fall. * The price. Dentists recommend replacing your toothbrush every three months. While $15.99 (at the time of this review) may initially seem high, you are getting four brush heads. This is an entire year's worth for less than $16. What I would change: * I would love for VEKKIA to make electric toothbrushes for adults with these same features so my spouse doens't wonder why I am using a dinosaur toothbrush haha!

Good value and good quality toothbrush.
This is a rechargeable electric sonic toothbrush. This toothbrush is aimed at kids with a rocket dinosaur design. This toothbrush has a two minute timer and has a reminder every 30 seconds for each quadrant of your mouth. This has three different modes for power and is waterproof with a long battery life. This also comes with four brush heads and this comes very presentable and attractive to the eye. This would make a great gift and this makes brushing a lot of fun for the younger crowd. This toothbrush feels like it's a good quality and seems to be made very well. This has a good durability and feels like it would last a long time. This is super easy to use, as you simply charge it and turn it on, pick your mode, and brush, Giving this a good functionality. The timer is a great reminder and this is charged on the bottom that is covered with rubber plug. This can not be charged in the base and the base is not a charger. The value on this is very good this is not expensive and this is made very well for the price this would also make a great gift giving this a very good value in my opinion and at the time of this review. Overall, this Sonic electric toothbrush for kids is fantastic This is great for the kids to get into brushing and could work for them up into their early pre-teen years. I would have no issues recommending this.
