In Harsh Shadows, you take on the role of a master agent working for the elite global task force, The Rigel Group. Your mission is to hunt down a cunning spy who has evaded capture in the past. With a playtime of just 20 to 30 minutes, this solo game is easy to learn and packed with excitement. Designed by Rachel Bruner and published in 2021, Harsh Shadows challenges you to use your wits and local intel to outsmart the spy and bring them to justice. As you navigate the 3x3 grid of location cards, you'll need to manage your hand carefully, using special abilities and clues to reveal case cards and track the spy's movements. With once-per-game abilities and simultaneous action selection, every decision counts. Can you catch the spy before they escape, or will you become the prey? With its unique blend of card play, conflict resolution, and puzzle-solving, Harsh Shadows is a thrilling game of espionage that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
