Reception[edit]
Nick Davison reviewed TS006 – Ace of Clubs for Imagine magazine and stated, "This is a disappointment after the excellent Orient Express and unlike that scenario it will not provide many sessions of play. The 'mystery' which the players are given to solve seems a bit too shallow, especially if they are given the rumours suggested at the beginning. Perhaps it is worth missing these out; I did."[2]
Kevin Allen reviewed Operation: Ace of Clubs in Space Gamer No. 74.[1] Allen commented, "Ace of Clubs is another good Top Secret adventure – not great, mind you, but good. Its faults are relatively minor, and it's reusable – which is a major plus, and thankfully getting to be the rule in gaming adventures nowadays. However, despite the novice disclaimer, I recommend players have a couple of missions under their belts before embarking on this one."[1]
