Black Tie
2-5 Players 40-60 Minutes
The deck building game of strategy, sabotage, and espionage. The intrigue of a party game with the strategy of a deck builder!
A game of international espionage is afoot! You've been given a mission to protect hard drives containing your organization's most important data. Years of research and technological advancements your opponents can't wait to get their hands on. You'll need to pull out all the stops in order to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.
But your opponents have their own data worth investigating, data your employers would be more than happy to get a look at it. And sometimes the best defense is a good offense. Recruit agents, activate dormant facilities, and deploy cutting edge gadgets to infiltrate your enemy's defenses, steal their data drives, and sabotage their agency. May the best player win!
Black Tie is the perfect "gateway" game, because it is relatively light with an approachable theme, highly interactive compared to most strategy games, and its small, making it less intimidating to new players. It has the depth of a deckbuilder with the look and feel of a lighter game.
Black Tie takes hand management to a whole new level with mechanics such as card storage, partial hand retention, and even a card 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.

Game Play
Black Tie is a twist on deck builders where players are competing to build the strongest agency and collect the most data from other players. 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. Players must carefully manage and prepare their deck and hand in order to perform game changing moves like recruiting a double agent or stealing a data card.
