The Alderac Entertainment Group has announced a November release for the first major expansion to the Spycraft Collectible Card Game, which debuts later this month.  In a nearly unprecedented move, AEG has made its initial Spycraft CCG releases fully returnable (even down to the pack level) for retailers.  AEG has also demoed Spycraft extensively around the country. Kim Kopaleski of Tomorrow is Yesterday in Rockford, Illinois told ICv2: 'I was very impressed with the Spycraft demonstration, and I am normally not impressed very easily--but Spycraft uses AEG's L5R mechanics and the gamers who played it in my store got quite excited about it.' 

 

The Spycraft game emphasizes strategy and cunning over brute force and attempts to recreate the espionage-based thrills of a nail-biting spy adventure film.  The first expansion for Spycraft, The Extinction Agenda, which is due out in November posits a world on the verge of a seventh major extinction, but this time the cause is not climate change or an errant asteroid, it is an aberrant biological plague spread by a madman with a plan for eliminating nearly all human life and rebuilding the world in his image.

 

The Extinction Agenda will add 200 new cards to 345 cards available in the initial Spycraft release.  Extinction Agenda decks, each of which contains 70 cards and a rulebook, come 8 decks to a display, which contains two each of four different decks.  The SRP for the individual decks is $11.99.

 

Extinction Agenda Boosters contain 11 cards and come packed 48 to a display.  The SRP for the Extinction Agenda Booster Packs is $2.99.
