## Description
Hey everyone! Ready to dive into the thrilling world of espionage and international crime-fighting? In Gunrunners, you take charge as the leader of your country's federal police, tasked with dismantling the network of the infamous "Merchant of Death" and his international team of Gunrunners. These guys are spreading chaos and arming war-torn and drug-ridden countries, and it's your mission to stop them! The main objective is straightforward: confiscate more weapon crates than your opponents. To achieve this, you'll deploy your agents to four hot zones around the globe: Central America, the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia. With each round, more weapons arrive in these locations, intensifying the competition. At the game's end, the payoff: the amount of weapons each player seizes depends on how many agents you managed to position in each region. And to spice things up, there are "Special Operatives"! These are cards with unique powers that can turn the tide in your favor, altering gameplay and adding that extra dose of strategy and surprise. It's a fast-paced game, with sessions lasting around 30 minutes, perfect for those who enjoy a dose of tension and tactical play without lengthy downtime. Will your agents be up to the task and bring this Merchant of Death to justice? Only one way to find out!
