Who it's for

Larger groups who enjoy tense hidden-role deduction games with shifting rules and real paranoia at the table.

Not for you if…

You have a small group of two or three; this needs enough players to make the hidden-role guessing genuinely uncertain.

Vibe's take

Tense and suspicious: every round ratchets up the paranoia as you try to read who's really on your side before the wrong wire gets cut.

About this game

Time Bomb: Undercover reworks the tense hidden-role wire-cutting formula of Time Bomb around a globe-trotting spy story. Secret agents split into factions with conflicting goals, stopping a bomb, detonating it, or quietly manipulating everyone else, and each round moves to a new location with its own twist event that shakes up the group's plans.
