About the game

Agent Avenue is a light card game about retired spies living in a quirky, anthropomorphic suburban neighborhood. Using an 'I split, you choose' mechanic, players play one card face-up and one face-down each turn, letting an opponent decide which one affects them. Cards score points or trigger effects while also advancing a race to uncover the opposing spy's identity. It blends bluffing, set collection, and light deduction into a quick, colorful package.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli finds Agent Avenue a charming, fast-playing bluffing filler with a clever card-splitting twist. It's a fun light option, though as a newer release it hasn't yet built the track record of bigger bluffing classics.

What we like

  • Very quick playtime, ideal as a filler game.
  • Clever 'I split, you choose' bluffing mechanic.
  • Charming anthropomorphic spy theme and art.
  • Easy to teach to new players in minutes.

Keep in mind

  • Limited depth for veteran strategy gamers.
  • Small player count cap of two to four.
  • As a newer title, it has a smaller community track record.

Who it's for

Families and casual gamers who enjoy quick bluffing games will enjoy this for two to four players, ages 8 and up.
