The Boardgame Review Room–The Agents

This card game was funded in Kickstarter with a pretty terrific amount of success in 2013 and it quickly became obvious that expansions were indeed a good idea. So quickly in fact, that Saar Shai, the designer behind the game decided to design expansions and create another Kickstarter that is also currently funding and it’s also being *very* successful. But why? What does this game have that is getting people to want to pay for expansions and make them like it so much? The excellent artwork and quirky production values might have something to do with it. For example the cards are made of plastic and not cardboard and is a game that fits very nicely in a small bag but has enough replayability and depth to stop it from being a light game. However, how does a first play of this game go? Is it enjoyable and easy to grasp? That’s what we’re going to find out in this podcast! Hope you enjoy the show!
