Double Agent is a solitaire card game based on the spy theme. During play, you represent a secret agent who is trying to track down the traitorous double agent within your organization. Once you discover the traitor, you must determine an ideal time to terminate him. If your termination effort is successful, you will meet the game’s winning condition.
During the game, the double agent and his fiendish associates will be trying to assassinate you. A game mechanism ensures you become more vulnerable as you get closer to finishing your assignment. All actions by the double agent and the enemy organization are automated by the game system.
Through careful card play, you work to mitigate setbacks and assassination attempts. Careful card play involves card archiving, hand management, stack deduction, and set collection. The “Player Deck” features multi-use cards that are used for performing actions, payment in the detection step, and generating scores during enemy face-offs.
Along the way, your assignment will take you to different parts of Europe and possibly to a city in Brazil.
