Hidden agenda is a keyword found on some Conspiracy cards in the multiplayer Conspiracy set. These conspiracies have you secretly name a card before the game begins. Any time you have priority during the game, you can turn the conspiracy face up and reveal the chosen name and what bonus the conspiracy gives cards with that name. [1] [2]
