Spy Web

About this board game

Spy Web is a two-player espionage game that plays in about 30 minutes, with each player placing spies among nine locations to discover the crime boss and identify where the boss is hiding.

Each player has a board featuring nine locations and chooses where their spies will reside. The game focuses on the exchange and interpretation of information, combining clue giving with eavesdropping and finger-pointing.

As the investigation unfolds, players work to determine two connected answers: who the crime boss is and the location of the crime boss. The winner is the player who discovers both the criminal figure and the place where that figure is located.
