Time Bomb: Undercover

About this board game

Time Bomb: Undercover is a secret-agent game for 4–8 players that plays in about 30 minutes. With gameplay similar to Time Bomb, it challenges players to identify who they can trust while pursuing hidden, opposing goals.

In the game, three forces are at work. The Agency wants to stop the bomb from going off, while the Organization seeks to destroy the world. The mysterious Shadow has a different objective: manipulate everyone else and snip the final wire on the bomb.

• The Agency: Stop the bomb from going off.
• The Organization: Destroy the world.
• The Shadow: Manipulate the other players and cut the final wire.

Try to work out the identity of your neighbors and decide whether their words and actions deserve your trust. Every choice can influence how your team advances, so read the table carefully and guide your side toward victory without knowing exactly who stands with you.

Each round takes the group to a new part of the world and introduces a twist event to spice up the game. These changing events add variety as the secret agents continue to question one another and pursue their objectives.

Released in 2024, Time Bomb: Undercover is built around deduction, deception, shifting alliances, and tense decisions. Whether you are trying to protect the world, bring about its destruction, or secretly manipulate both sides, every round asks how much you are willing to trust the players around you.
