Spy Alley Rules
Spy Alley is a strategy spy board game in which players try and discover each player’s secret identity.
Setup
Each player receives $10 multiplied by the number of players in the game.
Each player receives one playing piece and one scorecard.
Every player puts their playing piece on the starting space.
One player shuffles the spy I.D cards and each player picks one out at random. The remaining cards are then put back in the box without the players getting a look.
Every player gets to look at their spy I.D card and discover their secret identity without telling the other players.
One player shuffles the “move” and “gift” cards separately. Players then draw a card from each pile.
Each player rolls the die with high-roll going first.
Playing the Game
On each player’s turn, they roll the dice, and they move the pieces clockwise on the spaces based on what they roll. Based on the space they land on; the player will take action.
The aim of the game is to gain the password, disguise, code book and key of the country to which their secret identity belongs.
Tip: Since every player can see what other players have gained, players should collect items from other countries to prevent other players from finding out their identity.
