Deep State: New World Order

It is the 20th century. The century of skyrocketing technological development and new economic and political relations. The century of two World Wars and several revolutions. The century of changing ideals.

In the 20th century, it became possible for the first time to create a single world government. You oversee a subdivision in a secret and powerful organization — the Committee. Its goal is to become that government.

As the head of a subdivision, you deploy an agent network all over the world and covertly seize the sources of power. To achieve your goals, you co-opt influential societies, both well-known and secretive.

From political parties and financial groups, to research centers and power structures, they are all just puppets operated by masterful hands. One must know how to pull the right strings. Even the Committee itself is just
a stepping stone on your path. However there are other subdivisions in the Committee, and their leaders are equally capable and ambitious as you.
Remember: there can be only one puppet master in the puppet world!

All your activities are enveloped in secrecy. The world has no idea of your
existence, and it will never know. Even as you become its ruler.

Deep State: New World Order is a dystopian game of world domination and global conspiracies. The game takes place over several rounds, and in the course of a round, players begin with the action phase, which is followed by the takeover phase. Those two phases repeat, then at the end of the round comes the treaty phase.

During the action phase, each player performs one action, the most important of which is to send your agents to infiltrate political, financial, and research institutions represented by objective cards in the Infiltration Zone. You must race for objective cards as other players can send more agents to intercept the card they need. Players can also advance toward World Domination projects, including Comintern, Unified Nations, Spyware, and Deep State itself, which gives players tangible advantages in the game. They may also choose to carry out covert operations that provide a lot of influence while requiring the sacrifice of agents.

During the takeover phase, players take their captured cards and return some of their agents from them.

The treaty phase begins when all objective cards in the Infiltration Zone have been captured. Each player can then make one treaty that gets them working with mighty organizations, some known the world over, while others hide in secret.

At the end of the game, players calculate their influence (victory points) that are generated by their objective cards, by participation in global projects, and by their treaty cards. Many cards interact with each other, generating even more influence. The player with the most influence wins the game, becoming master of the world we know.
