Joker Game
Anime Like Dr. Stone
In the midst of the second World War, a secret program is established to train a group of men in the arts of subterfuge.
Some become masters of disguise and blend into other countries’ populaces; others learn how to engage in mind games with spies from rival nations; and others still learn how to use their exceptional wits to uncover secrets some would rather keep buried.
Once their training is complete, they’re sent all over the world, leaving their stories to be told in bits and pieces as the series progresses.
Though it never becomes as fantastical as Dr. Stone is, Joker Game offers the same types of mind games and contests of wit. Solutions aren’t gained through fist fights, with characters instead devising complex yet understandable plans for overcoming their dilemmas.
It’s also an easy watch. Viewers need only watch 12 episodes to see everything the series has to offer, and they’ll be all the better for the four hour time investment.
