About the game
Try to make people guess your classified document by crossing out superfluous lines directly on your card. Read what's left out loud, but be careful to leave enough information for your teammates to guess! To do this, you will first have to cross out as many lines as possible directly on the card because each piece of information left visible generates suspicion about your group and too much suspicion will cause you to lose the game. Read your text out loud, and hope your team understands the message. Novice or advanced mode, in cooperation or in teams, adjust the difficulty as you wish for games that are always just as interesting regardless of the number of players or the gaming habits of the participants around the table. 8 themes (Films, Series, Characters, Personalities, Monuments, Natural sites, Cities and territories), 490 classified documents to guess await you for a game of knowledge like you've never seen before! —description from the designer

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Opération Zèbre is 30–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Opération Zèbre for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
