Very short story, perma-death style system & game can only be played via downloadable app?! (0 more)
An unfortunate let down
Hidden agenda is a story about detective marney (katie Cassidy) who 5 years after capturing and arresting the infamous serial killer "the trapper killer" is thrown after the announcement that she may have arrested the wrong man...who is on death row with only 48 hours left...she has to be sure.

This game genuinely looked like a hit, with its dark, gritty tone, detective based story & quick time scenarios but was quickly derailed due to only being able to play by downloading a companion app and using a portable device (providing your device was able too - fyi old fire tabs don't 😕)

Once you have it, you will be prompted to add you name & choose a colour? As you can have friends join in too, but still need to if it's just you?

The story is incredibly short, even shorter if you make a wrong choice or are too slow to move your device pointer to a specific moving target, which from a I can assure you, can become rather infuriating.

Answering a phone call or video call WILL disrupt your game and you will be sent back to start all over.....Including adding your name and colour again.

Aside from that- great casting, great story, great graphics and this would make and absolutely fantastic live action movie.

Gem of a game!
Spelndor is a brilliant game, tactical, logical, 15 points to win. Simple. The prices feel like heavy poker chips and it’s super satisfying to play with them, it’s an easy game to teach making it very family friendly.

Essentially the gameplay goes as so;
You can take one of three actions on your turn.

Collect resources, either two of the same colour gem if there are 5 or more on the stack, or three of different coloured gems.

Buy cards which give you points, a permanent recourse or even BOTH!

Or reserve a card for later, this can be a face up card or one random from a deck. This can be purchased by you later for it’s usual cost, AND for reserving a card you get a gold chip, which can be spent as if it’s any colour gem.

Lastly- there are some nobles at the top of the play area, if you have the gems on cards they would like, they come to “see” your collection and you gain 3 extra points at the end of your turn.

First to 15 points wins 😊

Great simple fun, I’d reccomend playing with people of a similar ability to begin with, and all of the components can easily fit in a small deck box which can make it a great travel game.
