(Multinational Agency for Raunchy Secrets) who secretly try to manipulate the political landscape for their own benefits. Secretly assign victory point multipliers to specific colors of pyramids, then take turns filling the board with randomly-drawn pyramids, trying to create clusters of certain colors to meet their secret agenda. The winner is the player with the most points at end-game.
