About the game

What you do in a play session

If you enjoyed the base game Deep State and crave more global intrigue, the Global Conspiracy expansion offers four modules that can be mixed and matched to refresh your gameplay. Each module introduces its own Projects and mini-expansions, allowing you to customize your experience. The 'Strong-Arm Tactics' module dives into counter-terrorism, enabling more aggressive agent use and even rival elimination, while 'Black Operations' add a chaotic element with cyber and eco threats. The 'Fourth Estate Module' focuses on media power to shape public opinion, requiring treaty sacrifices for influence and strategic objectives. For those who enjoy more out-of-the-box conspiracy theories, the 'Reptiloids Module' replaces an original project, introducing reptilian aliens vying for world power and offering new ways to secure treaties. Lastly, the 'Superiority Doctrine Module' brings three projects that substitute base game ones: 'Nuclear Power' generates Ghost Agents, 'Worldwide Bank' extends your reach, and 'World, Inc.' returns agents from missions and rewards project participation. All modules can be played solo, with specific rules included, and the language dependency is minimal, focusing more on action memorization.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Do I need the base game Deep State to play with this expansion?
Absolutely! This expansion adds new modules and components that rely on the Deep State base game to function.
How many modules does this expansion include, and how do they work together?

Does the game become much more complicated with all these modules?
Complexity can increase depending on how many modules you add. Each brings its own mechanics and rules, but the base game already has a considerable weight. It's recommended to start with one or two modules to get acquainted.

Yes! All modules in the Global Conspiracy expansion feature detailed solo play rules, allowing you to enjoy the global intrigues even without other players.
What is the average playtime with this expansion?
The base game playtime is 40-75 minutes for 1-5 players. Adding modules might slightly extend this time, depending on your familiarity with the new rules and how many expansions you decide to use in a single game.
Does this expansion add a lot of new components?
Yes, each module brings its own Projects, cards (like Treaty cards, mini-expansions), and in some cases, new types of objectives or specific mechanics, significantly enriching the base game's components.
