Agent Avenue: Division M — How to Play

Objective of the Game

In Agent Avenue: Division M, players take on the role of special agents navigating a dangerous neighborhood. The Division M expansion introduces new agents and Black Market cards, adding tension and unpredictable opportunities. The goal is to outmaneuver opponents by strategically positioning your Division M piece and meeting the new win condition: if an opponent's meeple lands exactly on the same space as your Division M piece, you win the game immediately.

Preparation (Setup)

Simple Mode

• Each player takes the Division M piece of their color and places it in front of them (it will be added to the board later).
• Shuffle the 6 new agent cards with the base game's agent cards.

Advanced Mode

• Shuffle the 15 new Black Market cards with the base game's Black Market cards. For first-time players, it's recommended to use only the new cards.

Game Flow

The game follows the base rules of Agent Avenue, with these additions:

Step 2: Recruit (Simple Mode)

• When recruiting a Division M agent card, place your Division M piece on your home space (the starting space with a home icon).
• Move your Division M piece up to 1 space forward or backward (or leave it in place).
• Some cards allow moving it up to 2 spaces instead.

Step 3: End of Turn (Simple Mode)

At the end of each turn, check the additional win condition: If an opponent's meeple is exactly on the same space as your Division M piece, you win the game.

Actions and How to Play

Division M Movement

• Wait until both agent cards are revealed before deciding how to move your Division M piece.
• If your Division M piece moves past an opponent's meeple, it doesn't trigger a win unless they are exactly on the same space.
• The opponent cannot capture or remove your Division M piece.

Advanced Mode: Black Market Cards

• Ongoing abilities from Black Market cards activate immediately when taken, not retroactively.
• Unless specified, card effects refer to a player's meeple, not their Division M piece.

End of Game and Scoring

The game ends immediately if:

• An opponent's meeple lands exactly on the same space as your Division M piece (you win).

Otherwise, follow the base game's win conditions. Consulte o manual para detalhes sobre esta seção.
