Seven Spies is a strategic game of espionage for 1 to 7 liars. Play solo or gather your friends and take on the role of secret agents. The criminal organization Cipher has planted bombs around an embassy and it’s up to you to save it from destruction. Players will explore the embassy to find and interrogate assets for intel on where Cipher's bombs are located and how to defuse them. Pretty straightforward, right? It would be, except for the fact that some of your friends are secretly working for Cipher! Seven Spies brings the explosive intrigue and social deduction from board games like Mafia and Werewolf into the digital era by introducing over 25 spy gadgets (explosive pens, smoke grenades, night vision glasses, and more!), countless opportunities for bluffing and misdirection (cut the embassy's power, pull the fire alarm, or disguise yourself as another player!) and a dynamically generated map that will never be the same twice. Will you be able to thwart (or advance!) Cipher's latest plot? [How to Play] Seven Spies has two modes: Cooperative and Competitive. Cooperative Mode (1-3 Players) Grab your partner or a few trusted friends to play against a computer-controlled CounterAgent. You have 24 turns to defuse 3 out of the 5 Bombs planted in the embassy. Proceed with caution: The CounterAgent is lurking around trying to stymie your every move... Competitive Mode (4-7 Players) Each player must have their own device with an internet connection and Seven Spies installed. Gather your friends into a room or over voice/video chat and enter the same "Mission Code" to begin. Once the mission starts, players will be briefed on their role as either an Agent or a Cipher Agent and placed in the embassy's entrance. Every turn, each player will perform an action simultaneously. Once everyone has chosen an action, players will be notified of what happened before everyone moves on to the next turn. Agents have 24 turns to defuse 3 out of the 5 Bombs planted in the embassy. Cipher Agents can either detonate 3 Bombs, assassinate the Agents, or stall them until no more turns remain. Good luck, Agent. [00 Agent Pack] Players looking for an even deeper experience can purchase the 00 Agent Pack to: - Unlock exclusive Items like the PP7, Remote Mine, Smoke Grenade, X-ray Contacts, and Face Mask (think Mission: Impossible style) - Unlock a 10 Player Mode that allows for up to 10 players and 3 Cipher Agents in a single Mission - Custom Mission Settings to tune item drops, win conditions, modifiers, and more - Stat and Award tracking across Missions - The ability to take a Custom Portrait with your device camera and insert yourself into the game!

About

Krestfell

Features
Read full description

There was one folk under one Sleeping King, and above his throne hung a twelve-pointed star. The star broke and the king fell into his long sleep, and twelve kindreds carried the twelve points into the dark. Now they have come back to settle the land — and whoever gathers more than half the star will unite the kingdom. Krestfell is a turn-based 4X strategy game inspired by Catan, Chess, and Civilization: found cities, work the land, raise armies, and outplay up to nine rival kingdoms on a procedurally generated map. One game fits in an evening. Every one plays out differently. TACTICAL COMBAT No hit points, no damage rolls, no luck. Like chess, an attack kills if the attacker's strength exceeds the defender's. Every fight is decided before it starts, and reading the board is everything. Too strong to kill alone? Stage several units against one defender and strike as one. Units that make three kills become veterans, and veterans change the math. WORK THE LAND Each turn gives you a handful of action points. Spend them tending tiles — every tended tile grows your city and reveals what the land was hiding: grain or coal, iron or wild horses, or a lost point of the star itself. Match tended tiles into shapes to craft structures — farms, mines, granaries — the only income your kingdom will ever have. TWELVE KINDREDS Play any of twelve kindreds of the Krestfallen — storm-kin and cairn-watchers, veiled keepers and hush-tongued bargainers — each with its own ground, its own temper, and an old grace or grievance with every other house at the table. HIGH DIPLOMACY Swear pacts of mutual protection. Call the table to unite against a leader grown too dreadful. Hold a league together — or break your oath, take the knife to an ally, and live with what every kingdom now knows about you. HONEST BY DESIGN No ads. No account. No tracking. Just the game. The kingdom was whole once. Make it whole again.
