About the game
For when you're lookin' for a fight! While mankind has fought with itself, the forces of evil have gathered and prepared for one final, apocalyptic assault. Each group has fine tuned their forces and stands ready to fight for ultimate control of the earth. You are the leader of one of these groups, and you alone will determine who has control of the earth for now... Hidden Conflict is an innovative, tile-based, skirmish game that allows players to fight for global domination as either the forces of good or one of the many evil groups vying for control. Players build an army from the beautifully illustrated tiles and face off against their foes. The game plays equally well with two to six players. This large box contains 240 "Army" tiles, complete rules and 6 player "cheat" cards.

Questions and answers
Hidden Conflict supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Hidden Conflict is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Hidden Conflict for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Hidden Conflict has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
