@RossM to play.

243

Recruit 2 agents. (Special ability)

Place one agent on my imminent threat and look at all the cards. (Special ability)

244

I thought I was going to blow that one up, Ross, isn’t it better to look elsewhere?

245

That was last turn.

246

@RogerBW can you activate my hidden asset please?

247

Reveals:

  • Dar Adal / Black Ops Director / 2 VP / During Threat Analysis, you may discard Agents to add 2 to the blue total per Agent discarded / Drone Strike
248

Ok gang.

My plot currently sits with a -9 score in total.

Between burning agents cards and assets In can get it to even.

I need someone to put 1 agent on it.

If we can do that, chewy can use two soldiers and drone strike the other threat and we have a turn where nothing bad happens and the rest of you can put good cards on the plots on the second row.

Can someone spare an agent?

249

If i can recruit an agent i can spare one as i dont think i hold one now

250

I just got green uniforms, I am afraid…

I can’t contribute an agent but can contribute intel if needed.

What if we blast it with a Drone strike instead?

253

Hi gang,

Apologies Covid/Flu thing.

With an agreement to put no cards and 1 agent on my imminent 1 threat we can confirm it will be thwarted.

By others drone striking imminent 2 we can use it to dump bad cards and have a clear round with no plots succeeding.

It also means all the positive cards we have can go onto the second rank putting us in a better position for next round.

This way there’s no risk at all of us failing.

I think.

Do we need to claim imminent 2 grit to be drone striked? I am assuming yes so I will take that. I will place one card on that and one card on severe 1.

I recruit an agent and place it on imminent 1.

That should be my turn.

@Assussanni to play.

257

Spend 3 Clout to recruit an Asset.

Q: does the game end immediately when the Agency reaches 12 points or do we have to “survive” the whole threat analysis phase?

258

That’s a good question.

259

The game ends immediately when either track is full.
