Third Option Global Clandestine Operations Core Game

Take command of the Central Intelligence Agency’s Directorate of Clandestine Operations SAC: Special Activities Center otherwise known as the “Third Option”. Prepare, plan, and execute highly classified covert missions across the globe against America’s toughest enemies to safeguard U.S. and allied interests around the world. Select missions or operations and recruit the best teams available to conduct covert paramilitary actions across a broad spectrum of zones with varied threat levels. Recruit Teams while balancing asset procurement and planning. Obtain intelligence to enhance your mission's success by deploying selected Recon Group teams before your strike. Execute your plan deploying Ground Branch's Special Operations Group teams during an intense Direct-Action phase where all mission elements come together or fall apart.

Third Option uses a Mission mat, cards, markers, and dice to create a unique player experience that allows the selection of teams and strategies to conduct clandestine missions with precision and expertise. Player teams are represented in the game by cards and corresponding counters which are placed on the Mission Mat. These cards represent teams that may be further enhanced by individual assets (equipment, abilities, etc.), and as part of the abstraction, they differ slightly in numbers and capabilities.  Missions can be played individually or as part of operations. A random hostile draw mechanic and dynamic gameplay ensure no two missions are ever the same.
