ARTBOX is a game in which each player becomes a modern artist.

Each game round is a competition of trying to depict your word using just several shapes. Players will also have to challenge their deduction, trying to guess what their opponents tried to depict.

Quick Rules:
* Each player takes 2 Word cards and secretly chooses one, the other is placed to the bottom of the deck
* The facilitator rolls dice and places them on the Shape cards
* Each player draws their chosen word using the shapes rolled
* The first player to finish takes the #1 token, the next player — #2, and so on
* The facilitator takes each player’s Word card face-down, adds random cards from the deck and shuffles. Then he/she places them face-up near the drawing board
* The facilitator takes each player’s drawing face-down, shuffles them and places them face-up near the designated numerated areas on the board
* Players match words with drawings. They secretly note their guesses
* The first player to finish turns the sandglass upside down. After the time runs out, no one can take notes anymore
* The facilitator checks drawings one by one and writes a number of players, who guessed right, on each drawing
* A player with the most guessed drawing gets the first Victory token. In case of ties, the winner is a player with the lower number. A player can’t gain 2 Victory tokens during the same round.
* The second Victory token goes to a player who guessed the most drawings. In case of ties, the winner is a player with the most guessed drawing. In case of another tie, it’s a player with the lower number.
* Players check the endgame condition. If it’s not met, the next player clockwise becomes the facilitator. The new round begins.

The Global Conspiracy expansion extends your experience of Deep State and consists of 4 modules you may add into the game in any combination you like.

Some Modules contain Projects and mini-expansions which can be added to the game separately.

All Modules and mini-expansions, with a few restrictions, work great with each other. Yet some work better than others. Recommendations are provided in the rules.

STRONG-ARM TACTICS MODULE
Consists of: Counter-Terrorism Project * Black Operations. XXI Century mini-expansion – 7 cards * 3 Treaty cards

The World: The Counter-Terrorism Project exploits the people’s fear of terrorism in order to concentrate absolute power in the hands of counter-terrorism organizations.

Black Operations: it might seem they have no other purpose than chaos and destruction. In fact, they change the rules. The winner will earn the ruins of the world, but it will be their ruins.

Gameplay: You discard cards to Advance in Counter-Terrorism. As a benefit, you may use Agents from your Recruitment Pool when Infiltrating an Objective or Carrying out a Covert Operation. Additionally, you eliminate your opponent’s Agents while Advancing in the Project.

Black Operations are another type of Covert Operations. They require less Agents, but you discard your cards to conduct them. You Carry out Black Operations in order – Cyber Threat first, then Eco Terrorism, and finally Blackout.

FOURTH ESTATE MODULE
Consists of: Global Media Project * Trends mini-expansion – 6 cards * 3 Treaty cards

The World: The Global Media Project uses the media to lead the average person to the appropriate points of a view.

Social-political currents (Trends) usually originate in a highly influential country, and then like wind spread around the world. Trends should be anticipated and plans adjusted — done neither earlier nor later than necessary.

Gameplay: The Global Media Project requires you to sacrifice Treaties you have already made. But with this high cost, comes big benefits. Each time you advance in Global Media, you capture an Objective card. AND at the end of the game one of your Supreme Power cards generates MUCH more Influence for select Objective cards you have made.

Each Trend provides useful advantages for the duration of a game round and may be captured for Influence.

REPTILOIDS MODULE
Consists of: Reptiloid Project * 15 Reptiloid Objective cards * 3 Treaty cards * 3 Contactee cards (Men of Action) * 1 UFO Hysteria card (Trend).

The World: With the Reptiloids Module, Deep State takes a step into a fictional aspect of conspiracy theories. The ambitions of the ‘Committee’ on becoming a secret world government have become meaningless since the lizard-like aliens from the planet Nibiru are closer than ever to seizing power on Earth.

Gameplay: Reptiloids Project effectively replaces the Deep State Project. Players compete for Reptiloid Objective cards that allow them to make new Treaties while ignoring their conditions, and they Advance in Reptiloids Project in order to obtain new Treaties and gather Influence at the end — but only if they have enough Special Interest emblems on their cards!

SUPERIORITY DOCTRINE MODULE
Consists of: Nuclear Power, Worldwide Bank, and World, Inc. Projects

Gameplay: Each of these Projects replaces one of the base game Projects. Nuclear Power provides you with Ghost Agents for each World War card played. Worldwide Bank extends your ability to reach distant cards further down the Infiltration Zone. World, Inc. returns your Agents back from missions and generates Influence for every Project you participate in.

All Modules are suitable for 1 to 5 players. Detailed solo play rules are provided in the rules for each of the Modules.

World War II is in full swing. Germany widely uses Enigma rotor cypher machines. Breaking the Enigma code would give the Allies an advantage in the war. But this is just one side of the coin.

The Enigma code is based on Chaos, a non-measurable force lurking beyond the boundaries of our world and eager to consume all things alive. The code decryption would stop the Chaos invasion into our world.

A secret Agency that has been opposing supernatural forces for centuries operates in a mysterious, heavily-guarded, Victorian mansion somewhere in London suburbs. To break the Enigma code, the Agency has brought together the world’s best decryptors. You are one of them. Your mission is to break the Enigma code as soon as possible while wandering inside a mansion with a constantly changing layout. However, in practice, your character may actually have a different objective.

The playful wind wanders around the world, whirling from one windmill to another. Along the way, he catches the stories as they are told.

He carries them past our windows, throws them as dewdrops at our feet, and hides them in the rustle of the leaves high above our heads. They are hidden everywhere, speaking softly to us. So on bright spring mornings or warm autumn evenings, when we go out into the garden or sit by the fire, we listen to the whispers of the wind and share his cozy stories.

In Windmill. Cozy stories, players will be storytellers, weaving short tales based on the hidden picture cards they draw. While one player tells a story, the other players will attempt to guess the visible card that matches the story.

The more opponents that guess incorrectly, the more points the storyteller receive when a player does correctly identify the card. On the other hand, if all players fail to guess the picture, the storyteller will lose points instead of winning them!

The player who has earned the most points after all rounds have been completed wins the game.

You will score points both by telling stories that are identified correctly and guessing the stories told by other players.

However, if all players fail to guess the picture, the storyteller loses a point instead, so the tale mustn't be too mysterious.
