Which agents you get at any given time can play pretty heavily into your success. That being said, the agent cards all have a way for you to get points so there should almost always be a way where you can do something useful. The only exception would be if you get nothing but Free Agents, you could be in a spot of trouble. Skill is definitely a strong element to this game. Each card you play has the potential to help your opponents in some way.
Knowing which player with whom to play a Free Agent, knowing the order in which to play cards in order to maximize your points each turn, etc.. That being said the one thing I am disappointed with is the way that missions are implemented.
It really seems that if you do not buy missions early on in the game that you are going to lose due to the fact that one of the actions you can perform during your turn is to trade in as many missions as you want WITH ONE ACTION to get the same number of missions. This means that if you get more missions early, then every trade you do is more successful. It sort of forces you into doing this if you want to win and that seems like it reduces the overal strategy.
Personally, I like the art style and I feel like it fits the theme of the game very well. The cards have a simplistic design that lends itself to readability and the plastic cards are very nice. The Agents is a fun strategic game, if you like strategy that is. This is not a game that will make you laugh when some combination is pulled off. There are only a set number of actions that can be performed on an Agent and there are inverses of each type i.
This fact though is the mark of a good strategy game, the options are limited, but the strategic combinations are not. Overall I like the Agents and think it is a fun and engaging game in which you have to make important decisions each turn.
Who it is NOT for 1. People who want a narrative 2. People who want a humorous game 3. People who want to not make hard choices 4. Who it IS for 1. The Agents is a unique double-edged card game. When you play a card you must decide which side of the card will benefit you and thus which side will benefit your opponent.
You start the Agents with three agents cards and one mission card. Each turn you score Intel Points IPs for any missions you have accomplished and completed data tokens pointing at you. Once a player scores 40 IPs the round finishes and then the player with the most IPs wins. You have a faction row between each neighboring player. In a two-player game you simply have two faction rows between you and your opponent.
These rows are where you play your agents cards in order to score IPs. Each faction you have starts with a safe house in it. Safe houses help you start gaining data tokens and IPs early. Agent cards can be bought with two IPs and have a command on the bottom edge. This command makes you or an opponent take different actions like extracting agents back to your hand, turning them degrees or outright killing them.
The top edge has half a data token in either black or white. When you place an agent into a faction the player that can read the action must take it.

The games themselves are easy to use and function fine. Don't settle down to play with any expectation of peace. The pop up video ads are back. If you "win" a game you have to wait for the ad to load, watch the requisite 5 seconds of video and then, and only then, can you play another game. Personally it drives me nuts that an app that's supposed to be for relaxation has become a source of frustration. Really, it's just not worth the aggravation any more.
I hope that the additional ad revenue offsets the declining user base. Much better experience than before. Hope it stays this way. The following data may be used to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies:.
