Agency Rules of Procedure

“Welcome to this group reading of the Rules and Procedures for new Time Agents. My name is Mario Von Time,
a.k.a. Mr. Time, and I will be your D.I. (Designated Instructor). You will find more details on the Agency and Dr.
Faux in your Operational Booklet, but here’s the long and short of it:

“The evil Dr. Faux has built a terrrrible time machine to become master of the universe. At the helm of this
immensely powerful machine, he travels in loops, from era to era, creating an army of duplicates of himself. But,
most importantly of all, the instability and flaws in his Omniscience 2000 project are opening rifts in spacetime.
MR. TIME And these breaches will soon destroy the universe…

“Our Super-Magnetic-Auto-Cassette-Komputer (S.M.A.C.K.) has picked, out of our database, just a handful of the biggest, baddest
temporal power houses, the numero uno quantico… You were either on this exclusive list, or just happened to be available... No
pressure or anything, but… EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON YOU!*”

Introduction
Your shared goal is to defeat Dr. Faux. And here at the Agency, we cooperate: either you win together, or Dr. Faux
will have ruined the universe too much for it to make sense to wonder who lost the least.
Dr. Faux is using his Machine to create Rifts and Vortexes that will destroy Spacetime, and creating many Clones
of himself to help him. You’ll need to collect powerful temporal artifacts and use them wisely to complete Missions
that damage Dr. Faux’s Machine. Stop him before it is too late!

Agent Decks
Starting with the first player, players take turns in clock-
Each Agent uses their own deck of Artifacts to fight Dr. Faux. Here are the basic concepts of this system: wise order. This continues until your team either wins or
loses the game.
DRAW PILE HAND Each time the Faux deck is empty, the Faux cards are shuf-
fled and placed on the next space of the Cycle track to
signal the start of a new Cycle (see page 9).

If your team has not won by the end of the 3rd Cycle, the
game is over and you lose!
