SPY

About this board game

SPY is a table-free hand-management and deduction game for 2–4 players, with a play time of approximately 10 minutes. Use your spy’s position to investigate an opponent’s hand while taking care not to reveal too much about your own.

The objective is a tense race for secret information. First, crack your opponent’s safe; then find their top-secret file inside before they uncover yours. Every investigation can offer valuable clues, but exposing too much about your own hand may leave you vulnerable.

There is also a more dangerous way for the mission to end. If you are not careful, you could be blown to pieces by a bomb, turning a promising operation into a sudden defeat. The result is a compact, action-packed experience built around reading the situation and managing what you reveal.
