Get ready for a top-secret mission! In CIA: Collect It All, you become an elite agent tasked with gathering valuable intelligence and neutralizing global threats. It's a super dynamic card game where intelligence is your best weapon. Each round, a crisis board appears, each with its own challenges: be they political, military, economic, or weapons-related. You start with a handful of Intelligence cards and your mission is to use them wisely to resolve these crises. But beware, your rivals are also in the game! They can try to sabotage your mission by playing Reality Check cards, increasing the difficulty. If you're smart and have the right cards in hand, you can overcome the challenge, grab the crisis card, and score points. The first agent to collect 10 victory points is the big winner! It's a fast-paced game, with matches that don't last longer than half an hour, perfect for those who like to think quickly and have a straightforward strategic challenge. The art is cool, and the spy theme is well executed, immersing you in the shoes of a secret agent. It's a great choice for those who enjoy card games with a touch of bluffing and planning.
