Burned rewards both the planner and the improviser. Strategy sets the trap. Tactics spring it.

One player is the Burned Asset, a betrayed covert operative armed to the teeth and on a mission to assassinate The Director.

------------------------------------

The other commands The Agency, deploying agents, deception, and brute force to find and eliminate the Asset before it's too late.

------------------------------------

Every move matters. Every card flip could mean death.

 ------------------------------------

Quick. Brutal. Endlessly replayable.

• True Asymmetry Play two completely different games. The Asset sneaks and strikes. The Agency searches, surrounds, and deceives.
• Custom Tactical Loadouts Choose from 6 prebuilt kits or create your own from 19 unique tools—snipers, flashbangs, claymores, and more.
• Specialist Agent Roster As the Agency, assemble a unique squad with K-9s, Body Doubles, Spotters, and Operatives—each with distinct powers and strategies.
• Modular City Map Build a new tactical battlefield every game. The map changes. The tension doesn’t.
• Fast, Hidden Movement No slow buildup. You’ll bluff, bait, trap, and kill from the very first turn.
• High-Stakes, No-Holds-Barred Every action matters. Every mistake hurts. Burned is all killer, no filler.

So Very Wrong About Games

“You normally don’t get an arc in 20 minutes. Burned nails it.”

MFGCast

“I was really impressed by how well it worked… I’m excited about this!”

“A very satisfying lighter game… asymmetric, intense, and just chaotic enough.”

“Surprisingly intense. I felt the walls closing in on me.”

Play It Yourself

“Become Jason Bourne.”

“Burned does a lot with few components—and does it well.”

Meeple Mountain

"The structure is elegant, milking tension out of every possible source. The order in which decisions are made is so smart."

"A most impressive and enjoyable two-player game, Burned. It does as much with hidden movement as I think it’s possible to do with so little."
