With a playtime of just 40 minutes, it's the perfect way to spend a quiet evening, and the easy-to-learn rules mean you can dive right in. As you navigate through the game, you'll roll dice to determine the next step in your journey, allocating them to manage resources, deal with events, and keep an eye on the infiltrated Isolationist Cells that are trying to sabotage your mission. As you progress, you'll need to make tough decisions about how to use your Officers to deal with the challenges that arise, balancing immediate needs with long-term goals. The game is full of opportunities and threats, and you'll need to use your wits to exploit the former and overcome the latter.

Designed by Paolo Pellegri and first published in 2013, this print-and-play game is a hidden gem that's waiting to be discovered.
