Description:

Clandestine is a deep, asymmetric strategy game of influence and ambition, where 1-5 players lead rival secret societies vying to reshape a city from the shadows while competing to amass Intrigue, the ultimate measure of lasting power.

At the core of Clandestine is an innovative mancala‑style action system: when you act, pawns move, redistributing influence across both a shared Public path AND your private Society path. Every action grows stronger as more power gathers behind it, rewarding long‑term planning and precise timing. Players raise funds, discover rare Relics, reveal powerful Secrets, and strategically Ascend their society’s public stature—balancing efficiency, opportunism, and the growing Chaos their actions unleash.

Each society is asymmetric, with its own abilities, secret deck, and strategic identity, creating a rich ecosystem of interaction where no two games unfold the same way. Multiple paths to victory, low randomness, and deeply interlocking systems make Clandestine a natural fit for fans of mid-heavyweight strategy games that reward mastery over repeated plays.

This Deluxe Edition delivers the definitive Clandestine experience, featuring premium components including dual-layer tableaux, screen-printed meeples, custom storage trays, and a bone chalice mini combining to provide a commanding table presence designed to meet the expectations of today’s strategy game enthusiasts and collectors.
