Be your own boss and run your very own digital agency. The Digital Agency Game is an easy to learn, quick playing and accessible card game. The game has three separate decks of cards: Projects, Employees and Events. Players will aim to complete projects by assigning various employees to them. Employees can be assigned by either playing cards from your hand or from the common “resource” pool. Each employee has a different skill set and each project has a skill requirement before it can be fulfilled. Every turn a new Event card will be revealed. These can help or hinder a player. After all event cards have been drawn the game will end and the player with the most points (completed projects) is the winner.

Final Thoughts

Simple, elegant, quick playing and easy to teach. That is The Digital Agency Game in a nutshell. The theme, for me, is interesting and is a refreshing change on the generic high fantasy or dystopian future often seen in modern day board games. It can feel, the most part, tacked on as you are acquiring cards for their skills they provide. However, you can inject your theme if you use the names and the job titles of the employees your are recruiting. So you can play in to the theme if you choose.

The events add a fun, sometimes bad, sometimes good, twist to the game with event names that tie in to the theme of the game. All the employee cards have unique names and skills which you add to your projects to complete them. I like the mechanism for acquiring these from either your hand or from the common resource pool. This offers some interesting opportunities to deny your opponent a specific resource or skill they require.

The game is pretty quick with games lasting less than 30 minutes. It is the ideal length for a filler game at the end of the night or when you want a quick, lighter game. It is also very portable fitting in to a nice and compact box.
