Spyworld

About this board game

Spyworld is a 30-minute board game for 2–99 players about building a secret headquarters, defending it, and infiltrating an opponent’s custom-designed lair.

Each player is a mastermind seeking to become the world’s richest supervillain. During the simultaneous building phase, you create your own headquarters by placing walls, traps, sentries, and hidden secrets. You also train an elite agent and collect powerful gadgets, balancing your preparations between defense and infiltration.

Once every lair is complete, the focus shifts from construction to tactical exploration. Your agent enters an opponent’s headquarters and moves room by room through a maze shaped by that player’s choices. Deadly traps, vigilant guards, security robots, hidden secrets, and carefully placed walls can all stand between you and valuable rewards.

• Secret headquarters: Build a unique lair with walls, traps, sentries, and hidden secrets.
• Simultaneous play: Construct and prepare at the same time as the other players, keeping downtime low.
• Tactical infiltration: Explore an opponent’s labyrinth while managing Movement, Stealth, and Combat.
• Offense and defense: Decide how much to invest in protecting your lair and preparing your agent.

Every headquarters presents a different puzzle because each one is built by a different player. The paths you leave open, the walls you place, and the traps you hide influence your opponent’s mission just as much as your own.

Combining spatial puzzle design, resource management, simultaneous play, and tactical infiltration, Spyworld keeps everyone involved as agents explore custom-built labyrinths. The mastermind who best balances offense and defense can claim the greatest fortune—and move one step closer to world domination.
