One player takes on the role of The Agency (including The Director), while the other player takes on the role of a Rogue Operative. The Agency knows who their opponent is, but not where. The Rogue Operative knows where their opponents are, but does not know which is the Director. The first to die loses. Burned is an aggressive and unforgiving game intended to be quick, tense, and re-playable, with a healthy dose of luck. —description from the publisher
