About the game
What you do in a play session
The Agents: The 'Special' Agents is the expansion that adds 20 new agent cards to the already vibrant base game. If you’ve been enjoying plotting plans and negotiating allies, now you have even more options to make the table even more unpredictable. The expansion keeps the core of Open Drafting: at the start of each round, players receive a set of cards and choose one, discarding the rest. This creates that “who gets what?” vibe that makes every valuable resource worth its weight. The new cards bring unique abilities, from collection bonuses to trickery, allowing players to tailor their strategies to the deck they build. The visual design stays true to the original, with detailed illustrations of agents in action, and the print quality remains high, ensuring durability even in the most intense games. In terms of timing, the expansion doesn’t change the pace of the base game; you’ll still have 20‑40 minute sessions, but with more variety of choices. Complexity stays in the same range, ideal for those who enjoy quick yet deep strategic decisions. If you already own the base game and feel the matches are becoming predictable, the expansion brings the much‑needed refresh, boosting replayability without a huge investment. In short, The Agents: The 'Special' Agents is a complement that expands the range of possibilities while preserving the mechanics you love and adding new cards that make each game unique.
