## Description
Get your best disguise ready, because this mission is dangerous and not everyone at the table is on your side! In Secret Operation, you're in a race against time to build a cutting-edge superrobot, divided into four essential parts. The real challenge is that not all agents are as loyal as they seem. While the team tries to add the correct pieces to each robot component, some players will act as traitors, attempting to sabotage the project and ensure the mission fails before the deck runs out.

The dynamic is fast-paced and full of tension: you play cards face down on the robot part boards. Once the number of cards matches what is required, the team flips them to see if the item is exactly what the blueprint called for. Nailed it? That part is complete! Missed it? Well, you're back to square one and the loss is entirely on you.

This is the perfect game for anyone who loves a good bluff and wants to test their friends' trust. With super quick sessions, it's ideal for warming up the night or injecting a dose of adrenaline between heavier games. You'll need eagle eyes to spot who is intentionally playing the wrong cards and impeccable charisma to convince others that you are a totally reliable agent. Can you complete the robot, or will you be betrayed by your own squad?
