Here's what you can look forward to!

The art is simply gorgeous. Full color and in great style by Kennon James.

The game play is similar to the original version, but with a few key changes. We've learned a lot about game design in the years since we released the first version, and we've implemented our newfound knowledge here.

The original version of the game made it very difficult for players to employ any kind of strategy. This was due to the rather high numbers of cards that forced you to discard or give away your entire hand of cards. We've all but eliminated that mechanic in this go-round (indeed, the cards that did those things have been repurposed and do new things now). This will add a much higher strategic element to the game, and allow you to plan ahead without worrying about your hand imploding on you.

There are also a few new cards. Not on My Watch can stop things that were formerly unavoidable. Like the ever popular, He's Got a Bomb! card. Hidden Detention Centers allow you to...

Never mind. Forget I mentioned that part. That's classified.

The new edition is awesome. I love the new cards, especially the Detention Centers, and the colors really make the game pop -- as well as making it super-easy to identify your terrorists. Great bit of work.
