About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a shadow war with Specter Ops: Broken Covenant! This standalone game throws you right into the Specter Ops universe, where the tension is palpable. Imagine this: Raxxon's abandoned headquarters, brimming with corporate secrets, becomes the stage for an electrifying cat-and-mouse duel. On one side, a lone A.R.K. agent, a master at sneaking through the facility to complete secret objectives. On the other, a team of hunters from Raxxon's Experimental Security Division, armed with superhuman skills and sharp teamwork, sniffing out the agent's every move. Who will you be? If you're the agent, your skills and equipment are your best weapons. If you're a hunter, coordination with your teammates is key. No matter the side, strategy, deduction, and pure stealth will be your inseparable companions in the pursuit of victory. It's a game that demands quick thinking, anticipating your opponent's moves, and most importantly, enjoying the adrenaline rush of a high-stakes hunt. With components including miniatures and a grid-based board, immersion is guaranteed. Prepare to bluff, deduce, and perhaps, make that perfect strike!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
How many players can participate?
The game is for 2 to 5 players. It works very well with 3 or 4, but the 1 vs 4 experience is quite intense!
How long does a game take?
Be prepared to dedicate 60 to 120 minutes per game. It's a game that requires careful planning and execution.
How complex is the game?
The estimated weight is around 2.33 out of 5, placing it in an intermediate category. The rules aren't overly complicated, but the strategy and deduction can be challenging.
Do I need to know English to play?
Yes, unfortunately. The game has a significant amount of text on cards and components, making language dependency high. A good command of English or using translations is essential.
Is it a cooperative game?
Not exactly. It's an asymmetrical game where one player (the agent) plays against the other players (the hunters), who work as a team. The agent has their own secret objectives.
What comes in the box?
You'll find character miniatures, a board, action cards, tokens, and dice. Everything to bring this secret hunt to life!
