About the Game

▎ They don't advertise The Circuit. They don't need to. Someone decided you're worth the risk — and left you a

Tessera. Don't waste it.

▎ A mysterious token arrives — a Tessera — your invitation into an underground world of five-on-five tactical combat.

As a Circuit Broker, you'll assemble a roster of agents, manage their contracts, call strategies mid-match, and watch

every firefight play out from behind your desk.

▎ DRAFT YOUR SQUAD

▎ Scout the recruiting pool. Evaluate raw stats — aim, movement, utility. Sign the right agents, build team chemistry,

and shape a roster that fits your playstyle.

▎ MANAGE EVERYTHING

▎ Handle weekly payroll, negotiate contracts, train your agents solo or with mentors, and manage your budget through

sponsorship deals with underground and corporate brands alike.

▎ WATCH IT UNFOLD

▎ Matches simulate round-by-round with full CS-style economy, weapon buys, utility usage, and four-phase tactical

combat. Call timeouts. Change strategies. Watch your agents clutch — or choke.

▎ CLIMB THE CIRCUIT

▎ Compete across an 18-week season with double round-robin play, playoffs, promotion, and relegation. Build your

legacy through multiple seasons as your broker reputation grows.
