Description

In Shadow Agent, you and up to three friends take on the roles of stealthy secret agents, sneaking into enemy territory to complete a high-stakes mission. Inspired by classic video games like Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid, this cooperative game challenges you to work together, using strategy and cunning to evade detection by the numerous guards patrolling the area. With a playtime of just 45 minutes, Shadow Agent is a quick and thrilling experience that's easy to learn, even for those familiar with board games. As you navigate the modular board, you'll need to use your wits and a little luck to succeed. Each turn, you'll roll action dice to determine your moves, choosing from actions like moving, shooting, and healing. But beware - the guards are relentless, and come in three deadly flavors: green, yellow, and red, each with its own unique behaviors and abilities. As the game heats up, the guards will become increasingly aggressive, making it harder to complete your mission. With the right combination of teamwork, strategy, and luck, you might just make it out alive - but will you be able to overcome the odds and emerge victorious?
