About the game

What you do in a play session

The Agents: The Partners is a card game where players take on the role of secret agents, racing to complete missions before their rivals. The base set already includes a variety of agent cards, each with distinct abilities, and games typically last between 20 and 40 minutes. The expansion The Agents: The Partners adds 16 new agent cards, broadening strategic options and replayability. Each new card introduces a unique mechanic—whether it's area control, resource swapping, or end‑turn bonuses—making every game feel fresh. Drafting (open drafting) lets players pick cards from a shared pool, injecting tension and competition right from the start. Alongside the cards, the expansion includes additional mission tokens and a concise rule addendum that explains how to integrate the new pieces into the existing flow. The game’s weight rises slightly, but stays within the 1.5/5 range, keeping the experience light and quick. For those who already own the base set, the expansion delivers a deeper layer of strategy without a steep learning curve. If you enjoy fast card games with strategic choices and high player interaction, this expansion will amplify your collection and make each match more unpredictable and fun.
