Pre-Orders Open for 'Secret Files' Expansion to 'The Committee' Board Game — Unexplained, But True
This May, players of 'The Committee' board game will delve into the 'Secret Files' expansion, unlocking six classified protocols and unique mechanics. This new content will allow them to influence the fate of reality and empower their agents.
Pre-orders have commenced for 'Secret Files', an expansion to 'The Committee', a cooperative narrative board game set in an alternate Soviet Union.
The expansion significantly broadens the base game with six new sets, each introducing additional mechanics. These sets can be incorporated into a game session individually or combined to forge unique gameplay scenarios tailored to any storyline.
Participants will gain access to experimental protocols, developed from the study of Anomalies. These protocols enable players to reconfigure the map and alter city locations, take risks with an irreversible die roll, unlock extra slots on player boards, bolster agents, and generally expand the strategic possibilities of the game.
The expansion box includes 33 cards, 32 tokens, a custom die, and the expansion rulebook. 'Secret Files' is expected to be stocked in warehouses by late May 2026. Please note, the base game 'The Committee' is required to play this expansion.
