About the game
What you do in a play session
The Agents: The 'Secret' Agents is an expansion that adds 16 new agent cards to the base game The Agents, keeping the espionage and intrigue vibe that already delights fans. If you’ve enjoyed trying to figure out who’s on your side and who’s on your opponent’s, this expansion will broaden the range of possibilities even more. Each new card brings unique abilities that can swing a game in minutes, because the game stays short, 20 to 40 minutes, and supports up to five players. The core mechanic remains Open Drafting, where players pick cards from a shared pool; now, however, the pool is richer and the choices become even more strategic. The secret agent theme intensifies with cards representing spies, informants, and even saboteurs, letting you craft more elaborate plans and react swiftly to others’ moves. Production quality stays on par with the original, featuring detailed artwork and durable components. If you love card games that require quick thinking and constant interaction, The Agents: The 'Secret' Agents will surprise you. The expansion doesn’t change the learning curve, making it ideal for those who already know the base game and want something new without losing the simplicity that makes the title so accessible. In short, it’s an add‑on that expands the espionage universe without complicating the mechanics, keeping the fun high and the tension ever present.
