About the game
If you're a fan of Burncycle and looking to spice up your secret agent missions, the The Renegades expansion is your next target! It introduces four new agents to your team, each with a unique skill set that will change how you approach operations. Meet Packet, the infiltration expert; Lithium, the medic who keeps the team in the game; Cathode, the master of disguise and deception; and Torrent, the powerhouse who gets things done through sheer force.

These new characters significantly boost tactical diversity, opening up even more interesting combo possibilities between the bots' abilities. The expansion includes new bot cards, awareness and ability tokens, plus their specific dice. Get ready to face new challenges and twists, because The Renegades aren't here to play games. The language dependency is moderate, so having a translated reference sheet or printed cards is recommended to avoid confusion. This is the perfect addition for those who have already mastered the base game and crave more depth and variety in their cooperative espionage sessions. If you enjoy meticulously planning every move, solving tactical puzzles, and working as a team under pressure, this expansion will keep you glued to the table.
