The Agents: MaVericks

The Agents: MaVericks is a Kickstarter‑only expansion that adds eight new cards to the core deck of The Agents. These MaVericks cards are shuffled into the main deck and act as powerful resources, but they require the player to spend both of their actions to play them from hand. Unlike regular cards, MaVericks do not award Influence Points (IPs) to opponents, which can shift the scoring dynamics. Once played, they are placed face‑up on the table, allowing any player to reactivate them on their turn, again paying the two actions. This creates a shared‑card mechanic that encourages vigilance and tacit negotiation among players. Integration is seamless – just shuffle the new cards into the existing deck and follow the standard rules of The Agents, no extra rules needed. The result is a boost in strategic variety, as MaVericks can serve as blockers or turn‑boosters depending on who reuses them. Perfect for 2‑5 players who enjoy quick 30‑minute games and light complexity (weight 1.5), the expansion adds replayability without steepening the learning curve. If you already love the blend of hand management and spy theme, MaVericks is a worthwhile upgrade for your collection.
