Reception

Harry White reviewed Agent of Death for Fantasy Gamer magazine and stated that "Is it worth the price? Yes, if you like T&T solitaires, can tolerate the lack of coherence, and want to take the trouble to keep the thing from physically falling apart as you play it. If you are not such a fan, avoid it."^[2]
