Description

Double Agent is a fast-paced and thrilling card game for two players that's all about manipulation and deception. Published in 2005, this game was designed by the renowned duo Bruno Faidutti and Ludovic Maublanc, and it's easy to see why it's a classic. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, you can dive into a world of spies and secret agents, where nothing is as it seems. The rules are simple to learn, but don't let that fool you - the gameplay is full of hidden information, face-down cards, and clever bluffing. As you play, you'll be trying to figure out which of the five double agents are working for you and which ones are secretly loyal to your opponent. The catch is that each player knows each agent's loyalty to them, but not to their opponent, making it a delicate balancing act of trust and deception. With the game mechanics of secret unit deployment and variable player powers, you'll need to stay on your toes and think strategically to outmaneuver your opponent. It's a game of chaos and unpredictability, where sophisticated bluffing and global chaos blend together in a thrilling ride. Will you be able to outwit your opponent and keep your top-secret documents safe, or will they fall into enemy hands? There's only one way to find out - play Double Agent and experience the excitement for yourself.
