SPY is a 'TABLE-FREE' game of hand management and deduction. Use your spy's position to investigate your opponent's hand, but be careful not to expose too much about you own hand. The goal: Crack your opponent's safe, then find their top secret file within before they reveal yours...or worse yet...you're blown to pieces by a bomb! Covert, action-packed fun! Number 14 in the Pack O Game series.
