About the game
Race through crowded streets as an elite spy, taking down enemy agents without crashing, harming civilians, or running out of time. Gain upgrades, face the final boss, and escape in style! Each game consists of three missions where you must take out all the Project V.I.P.R. vehicles while avoiding civilian casualties. After the third mission, you'll face a final boss. You'll use movement cards to weave through traffic and shoot enemies, but use them wisely -- when you run out or take too much damage, you lose the game. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Mission: Drive supports 1 player according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Mission: Drive is 30–40 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 Mission: Drive for ages 14 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.
Mission: Drive has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Mission: Drive belongs to these categories: Spies / Secret Agents. Its main mechanics are Grid Movement, Solo / Solitaire Game, and Scenario / Mission / Campaign Game.
