Secret Societies

About this board game

Secret Societies is a strategic board game for 2–5 players, played over approximately 120 minutes, in which rival societies compete to gain the most Power and establish their institute as the one most deserving of total governance.

For centuries, Earth’s Secret Societies have fought a hidden war for control of the world’s territories. Now, a final truce has been agreed: one auction will decide it all. This is no friendly peace, however, as every society will use its abilities and resources to influence the outcome in its favour.

Across 7 rounds, players gain Income, bid for Deeds, deploy Agents, start Projects, make Investments, and seek control of important Conferences. Each player takes the role of a highly unique Secret Society with various tools and abilities designed to provide an edge over the competition.

• Gain Income and compete in the decisive auction.
• Bid for Deeds representing the world’s territories.
• Deploy Agents, start Projects, and make Investments.
• Seek control of the all-important Conferences.

Not all lands are created equal, so choosing the right Deeds is essential. Use your society’s unique skills and advantages to claim territories that best suit your agenda, then harness the existing industry of your countries for enrichment or set citizens to work on your own nefarious Projects.

With the final hammer fall approaching, every decision can affect the balance of power. In Secret Societies, outbid and outsmart your opponents as you pursue total governance of Earth.
