Homeland: The Game is a semi-cooperative game of intrigue, deception and hidden agendas. Players assume the roles of CIA analysts, directing agency resources to combat the rising tide of global terrorism. Be warned, not everyone is what they seem.
Stay Alert: New threats are constant. Every card played matters. Any action could be the difference between stability and catastrophe.
Be Vigilant: Use every tool at your disposal to stop impending terrorist threats. Deploy soldiers, insert agents and recruit key assets to neutralize imminent dangers and keep the nation safe.
Trust No One: Not everyone is what they seem. Watch your rival's actions carefully to try to decipher if they are working against you!
