Agent Avenue - A 2026 Review - Chai & Games - Ronak Chitalia & Christopher McMahon

Description provided by Chai & Games on YouTube:

In this review, we take a look at Agent Avenue, a fast, clever bluffing and deduction game where every card you play is an attempt to manipulate your opponent. You’re trying to catch the rival spy hiding right across the street - but the real game is figuring out what your opponent wants you to choose. The central “I split, you choose” mechanic creates some wonderfully uncomfortable decisions. Do you put your best card face-up and risk giving it away? Do you hide the card you actually want? And, perhaps most importantly, can you convince your opponent that the card you desperately want them to take is actually the one you don't want? We talk about what makes Agent Avenue work, the bluffing and mind games, how the different agents change your strategy, and whether this tiny game has enough going on to keep finding its way back to your table.
