About the game
The MaVericks is a Kickstarter-exclusive expansion that adds 8 new cards. The MaVericks will be shuffled into the main Agents deck and will cost both your actions to play from your hand. They will not award IPs to your opponents. Once used, they are placed face-up on the table, for any player to re-activate and use on their turn (again, using up both actions.)

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists The Agents: MaVericks for ages 8 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.
The Agents: MaVericks has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
