Watch “Clandestine Prototype Preview | Don't Miss This at Gen Con 2026,” a board game review for Clandestine from Board Games with Rob on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Board Games with Rob on YouTube:

Today, I’m taking a look at Clandestine, an upcoming game from Brookspun Games! In Clandestine, players lead secret societies, recruit leaders and followers, gather resources, perform powerful actions, experiment with alchemy, and navigate the unpredictable effects of Chaos Tokens and Conjunction cards. This was a prototype copy provided to me for review, so I am not giving the game a formal rating. That said, I had a fantastic time with it. Clandestine is already a great game with some very clever ideas, interesting strategic decisions, and a theme that comes through wonderfully. Brookspun Games will be demonstrating Clandestine at Gen Con in booth 1850. If you are attending, I strongly encourage you to stop by and give it a try!

About Clandestine, from BoardGameGeek:

For those who dare venture into the shadows of darkened alleys, one can hear the whispers and plotting as the seeds of the future's most powerful secret societies take root. Discovery of mysterious, ancient and even enchanted relics have aspiring groups experimenting with strange energy and manipulating the public to further their research into the unknown. Each society takes a different path to uncover impactful secrets while maximizing the intrigue it generates with its actions. This thematic, strategy game leverages mancalas within interconnecting rondels allowing players to conduct actions in a shared space while planning ahead for unique actions within their own societies. Will you generate the most intriguing secret society or will your society's efforts be lost to the ages? Play secrets, activate a public or society leader, and conduct clandestine actions on your turn to discover relics, research secrets, cleanse your society of chaos, or more in this deep strategy game with quick turns. The game ends when a player upgrades their Society to the max level (5). The winner is the player whose Society has generated the most Intrigue (victory points). -description from the designer
