A mad scientist named Dr Foo has built an unstable time machine, the Omniscience 2000, and is using it to hop between seven great Eras of history, spawning duplicates of himself and tearing open rifts in spacetime.
Those rifts are slowly shredding reality itself. If too many pile up on one Era, it turns into a Vortex, and if the universe accumulates too many Vortexes, everything is destroyed and the players lose together. Yes, the LOOP is a coop game! Standing in Dr Foo’s way is a ragtag squad of Time Agents, you and the other players, armed with a personal deck of quirky "Artifact”.
Each Agent's turn feels like a little adventure of its own. You hop from Era to Era, spending your Energy to move, then dip into you hand of cards to patch up rifts, take down Foo’s duplicates, or scrounge up more energy for later. With every turn that ticks by, Dr Foo grows bolder, spinning off more duplicates and hurling rifts into the timeline, forcing you and your team to stay one step ahead or watch the universe collapse.
Like in most coop games, there is one way to win and multiple ways to lose. Success means the team puts away four sabotaged pieces and therefore save spacetime, closing with a triumphant "K.U.D.O.S!" from headquarters and, well, some XP, but that’s a BGA exclusive... Failure means the Agency's wall of shame gains new names, and the universe quietly ceases to exist. NO PRESSURE… but… EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON YOU!
You’ll have a Designated Instructor accompanying you through the tutorial if you want to get acquainted with how to defeat Dr Foo and his terrible time machine. Otherwise, the first time portal is waiting for you.

Our gratitude goes to Maxime Rambourg and Théo Rivière, the game designers, and everyone at Catch Up Games for allowing agents to save the universe on BGA. And thanks to Oberstille for building a machine (the good kind, not Dr Foo's) that runs so smoothly on the platform.
This was your Monday release.
We recommend you listen to the Foo Fighters while playing, as it couldn’t be more on brand. Whatever music you choose, take care and play fair…
穿越特工：一切都取决于您！
一位名叫傅博士的疯狂科学家制造了一台不稳定的时间机器——全知2000，并利用它在七个伟大的历史时代之间穿梭，制造出自身的复制体，并在时空中撕开裂痕。
这些裂痕正缓慢撕裂现实本身。若某个时代累积过多，便会形成漩涡；若宇宙积累了过多的漩涡，一切都将毁灭，玩家们也将一同落败。没错，穿越特工是一款合作游戏！阻挡傅博士的是一支临时拼凑的时间探员小队——您与其他玩家，每人手持一套古怪的“神器”卡组。
每位探员的回合都像是一场独立的小冒险。您在时代之间穿梭，消耗能量移动，然后从手牌中挑选卡牌来修补裂痕、击倒傅博士的复制体，或囤积能量以备后用。随着回合推进，傅博士愈发胆大，不断制造更多复制体，并将裂痕投向时间线，迫使您与团队始终领先一步，否则只能眼睁睁看着宇宙崩塌。
与大多数合作游戏一样，胜利方式仅有一种，失败方式却多种多样。成功意味着团队成功拆除四处破坏部件，从而拯救时空，总部会送来一声胜利的“K.U.D.O.S!”，当然，还会附赠一些经验值，但那可是 BGA 专属……失败则意味着机构的耻辱墙将增添新的名字，宇宙也将悄然消亡。别有压力……但是……一切都取决于您！
如果您想了解如何击败傅博士与他那可怕的时间机器，会有一位指派教官陪同您完成教程。否则，第一道时间传送门正等着您。

我们向游戏设计师Maxime Rambourg与Théo Rivière及Catch Up Games的全体同仁致以谢意，感谢他们让探员们得以在 BGA 上拯救宇宙。同时感谢Oberstille打造了一台运转流畅的平台机器（好的那一种，非傅博士那台）。
这是您周一的版本发布。
我们建议您在游戏时聆听 Foo Fighters 的音乐，这简直再契合不过。无论您选择何种音乐，请保重，公平竞技……
