<p>This sounds like Top Secret Spies, also known as Heimlich and co.</p>

<p>This game came out in 1984.  Players are all allocated a secret character and they move around the edge of the board so it fits your description.  Players could move any piece but when a piece landed on the safe all characters scored points depending on position on the board. </p>

For a game with the name "Heimlich", I love to see the choking hazard message for the small parts...

<p>I don't have as much information about the game as I wish.  I played it back in the 80's so it is at least that old.  It was a board game typical size and had squares around the edge of the board that you moved around with real life pictures of people.  I believe each person was assigned one of the people and they had a role and you tried to either figure out who the spy was or who everyone was.  I loved playing at my Aunt's as a kid but last time I went there and thought about it I couldn't find it.  Any help would be appreciated.</p>
