About the game

What you do in a play session

If you enjoy that constant tension of not knowing if your tablemate is a hero or an undercover agent, grab a drink because Homeland: The Game is about to make you paranoid! Here, you aren't just a player; you are a CIA analyst trying to prevent global chaos from taking over the world. The goal seems straightforward: coordinate resources, deploy agents, and neutralize terrorist threats before it's too late. But hold on, nothing is as it seems. In this semi-cooperative setting, you must work with others to maintain national security, but the game hides a dangerous layer of betrayal. Is that colleague who just suggested a brilliant strategy actually leading you into a trap? With every card played, the board becomes a minefield of uncertainty. You'll need to tap into your deduction and memory skills to track suspicious movements and ensure the mission isn't sabotaged from within. It's a high-stakes game where trust is a luxury you probably can't afford. Enter the web of espionage, prepare your assets, and try to keep things under control, because if you fail, the result won't just be an individual loss, but a total collapse of world order. It's the kind of experience that leaves everyone at the table debating who the traitor was for hours after the game ends!
