Spyworld^*

Spyworld is a roll-and-write game for 2 to a very large number of players aged 8 and up. As would-be world rulers, you build secret lairs and spy on your rivals' plans. Everyone plays at once, and a game takes about 30 minutes.

What is it about?

After years of piling up wealth and power, you dream of ruling the world. Of course you deserve it. Sadly, rivals want to steal your spotlight. So you guard your own secrets while trying to steal theirs.

Your jobs

• Build your lair: Design your secret base on your sheet.
• Set traps: Well-placed traps stop intruders.
• Recruit sentries: Extra protection for your secrets.
• Break in: Plan raids on your opponents' lairs.

Why it works

Since everyone works on their own sheet at the same time, there is hardly any waiting. That makes it a solid option for big groups. The break-ins are where tension peaks. Rival lairs are heavily secured too, so careful preparation pays off.

Who is it for?

Families, classrooms and large groups who enjoy a light spy theme. If you already like other roll-and-writes, this adds a twist with more direct interaction.

Conclusion

Spyworld blends relaxed sheet-filling with a cheeky villain theme. Building plus breaking in gives it more interaction than many games in the genre. If you expect deep strategy, keep your expectations modest.
