Description

The game of strategy, sabotage, and espionage. In Black Tie you take on the role of director of intelligence for your own agency. You will have to manage and increase you assets, misguide and disrupt opponents, and most of all protect and collect secret data.

Black Tie is a twist on deck builders where players are competing to gain the most points. Players earn points by procuring cards, called assets, and by stealing data cards from other players.

On their turn players can play cards to perform a variety of actions including building security systems, activating agents, sabotaging other players, and stealing assets.

Black Tie takes hand management to a whole new level with mechanics such as card storage, partial hand retention, and the ability to increase hand size. Careful hand management is more important than ever thanks to Black Tie's unique card stacking mechanism where players may play multiple identical cards as one move in order to pull off more and more powerful actions.

The game ends immediately when all of the double agent cards have been purchased and played.
