SPY ALLEY
Hey there! When we start playing Spy Alley, we all get to be secret agents! It’s super fun. As the game goes on, we each have to keep our secret identity hidden from the others while we collect the important items on our identity card. But watch out! If someone guesses your identity right, you’re out of the game. On the other hand, if they get it wrong, they’re the ones out!
SETUP
Let’s set up the game! First, the game board goes in the middle of the playing area. We need enough space for all the game pieces. Each of us will pick a color to represent ourselves and put our game piece on the first space. Then, let’s shuffle the Spy Identification cards and give one to each player.
Hey there! Let’s make sure we keep those sneaky cards hidden from prying eyes. You only reveal your identity card when someone manages to correctly guess it. We each get a scorecard to jot down the items we buy during the game. Make sure to keep your scorecard in plain sight, so everyone can see what you’re up to.
Now, let’s talk money. At the start of the game, each player gets a certain amount. To figure out how much, just multiply the number of players by $10. So, if there are six players, we each start with $60. Any leftover cash can go in the bank, beside the game board. And voila, we’re all set to begin our thrilling adventure!
ARE YOU READY TO EMBARK ON THE SPY ALLEY JOURNEY?
When we start playing, we need to figure out who goes first. We can do that by rolling the die and seeing who gets the highest number. The person who rolls the highest starts the game. Each turn, you will roll the die and move your game piece the number of spaces shown on the die. Just follow the arrow on the space to know which way to move.
Our main goal is to get the items we need. We can do that by landing on the space where the item is and buying it. Don’t forget to write down the items you buy on your scorecard. But here’s the trick: it’s also a good idea to collect items you don’t need. That way, you can confuse your opponents.
Every time I pass the first space, I get $115. I can also decide to do something different during the game instead of taking my turn – I can try to guess who one of my opponents is. If I guess right, that player is out of the game and I get all their stuff. But if I guess wrong, I’m the one who’s out!
Right now, I have a chance to take another player’s ID card. I can choose to switch identities with them or just keep my own. If I land on the Spy Eliminator Space, I can freely guess who the other players are in Spy Alley without any consequences.
So here’s the deal – the game keeps going, round and round, with everyone taking turns and trying to figure out who’s who, until there’s only one person left standing or someone wins the whole shebang.
I’m Ellie, a resident of Northeast Tennessee. I adore animals, whether big or small, and I’m a huge fan of fantasy fiction books. Exploring the great outdoors is something I truly enjoy. Plus, I’m lucky to have an amazing husband who loves me almost as much as our two furry companions. Being part of this fantastic community is truly rewarding.
Now, let’s talk about the game! The moment we’ve all been waiting for… the end of the game! It happens when there’s only one player left standing or when a player reaches their embassy space after collecting all their items. If you’re the first to finish this remarkable feat, or if you’re the last player remaining, you emerge as the victorious conqueror!
Sounds exciting, right? Just remember, in this game, every player has a secret identity and must keep their hunt for items discreet. Can you pretend your way to success? Can you keep your secret hidden from your opponents? The challenge is on!
