Countdown: Special Ops

Players lead a special operations team through missions to locate and dismantle bombs, rescue hostages, or eliminate terrorist leaders. A modular system combines more than 200 cards with changing situations, threats, objectives, and mission conditions. The cooperative game supports single missions, campaigns, and multi-mission scenarios, with adjustable difficulty and an optional traitor mode. Characters develop their skills during longer games, while players balance offense, defense, and other abilities against a 30-minute mission limit and the risk of harming civilians.
