Wetworks

Wetworks comes from the Russian KGB slang term “mokroye delo” or wet dealings. An indication that in this line of work you’re likely to get your hands dirty.

The Wetworks card game is a competitive game of covert operations and assassination. A shadow organization is offering up big money for the elimination of some top targets around the globe!

Manage your hand of 7 cards. Collect matching card sets with stealth and secrecy. Choose your moment with care. Move the target out of the sights of your competitors and into your hands. Play your cards right and take out the targets for high rewards, or go for the ultimate score as the double agent!

Wetworks offers a unique mix of tension, luck, and skill for 2-6 players.

Theme

In Wetworks players take on the role of competing assassins trying to eliminate the fleeing enemy targets. The artwork reflects this theme, but is handled a bit lightheartedly to convey the idea of the theme, but making it palatable for most players of varying ages. Even with these considerations Wetworks presents a fun often tense play experience combining a good amount of strategy with the luck of the draw aspect of card games like Poker, Set Back and Rummy.

The game boards are broken down into six zones. Each zone has a unique icon and color associated with it, and has three areas of value 4, 5 or 6.Target markers start on the Entrance space on the left end of the game board, and move toward the exit space on the right when a matching movement card is played.

Set Up

Choose one side of a board to play on.

Shuffle the deck and place it near the board.

Assign the two targets a random colored base and place them in the (E) entrance space.

Deal seven cards to each player.

Game play

On your turn you may:

Play a combination of cards to eliminate a Target from their current Area.

Play a Target Defense card to increase the difficulty of one area.

Playe a Target Movement card to move the matching Target one space forward on their matching colored track.

Discard a card and draw a new card.

Removing a Target

Play Ops cards equaling the value of the Area a Target currently occupies to remove it, and gain points equal to the Zone reward.

Ops cards can be combined with Bonus Cards to manipulate the use of the Ops cards in removing a Target from the board.

When a Target is removed thet player gains the reward listed for the Zone.

Defense Cards

Defense cards increase the difficulty of the matching Area, increasing the point value of the Areas in that Zone by 1 Ops points. This can keep your opponents from eliminating a Target.

Target Movement Cards

Movement cards advance the matching Target one space along their matching colored track.

Discarding

A normal discard is one card from your hand of 7 cards. After a Target is eliminated you may discard a Movement or Defense card that matches the eliminated Target.

Wetworks is a quick playing game. Rounds typically last 20 minutes or less, and a game of four rounds can play out in under an hour.
