About Secret Order, from BoardGameGeek:
Welcome to the real power that rules the world. Filled with ambitious members, our Secret Order all manoeuvre and connive our way to the highest echelons of humanity. By dominating the five key realms of society we impose our will upon the world.
In Secret Order you all have your own agenda. These power struggles are represented by the gathering of favour tiles. Each favour represents a weapon of manipulation to be used in the subjugation of the realms of society. Using the right power in the right market in integral to achieving your ultimate goal.
As with any behind the scenes machinations, it is unwise to reveal every tool at your disposal. Secret Order is no different. So when playing "The Game" you have tiles in the open for all to see but you also have your hidden agenda, secreted away until the time is right to strike!
Gather favour tiles, spend them to use your powers to disrupt your opponent's plans, hide them away until the time is right or collect the entire set of your desire to achieve victory and domination.
Secret Order is a fast paced game of hidden motives, power plays and ambition that will have you playing again and again.
