The board game Spy & Spy was developed in 1986 by the well-known game developer Alex Randolph , who also invented many other board games such as Sagaland . Spion & Spion are two spies fighting each other who became known through their appearance in MAD magazine . Another game by Michael Gray was also released by Milton Bradley in 1986 under the name Spy vs Spy .
Herbert Feuerstein wrote the instructions for the spy & spy parlor game , who was awarded the Essen pen for this in 1987 . The typical MAD humor is characteristic of these instructions. For example, it states that this game can also be played with 0 players, for which a separate game board is provided. Otherwise you can play with two or four people. In a four-player game, two players play together against the other two.
The aim of this game is to steal the opposing bazong and bring it into your own message. The term bazong (short for burning current, central upper national secret ) describes fictitious secret information. To achieve this, each player has three spies available. One of these spies, however, is a double agent who can be deployed by the opposite side after his exposure. It works in such a way that each player writes a number from one to three on a piece of paper before the game starts and puts it in an envelope. In addition, a number is given on the underside of each spy pawn so that the spy whose number corresponds to the one on the slip is the double agent. The number of an opposing spy can be viewed by a player with the help of Alfred E. Neumann or an event card.
In this game, the pieces are not moved by rolling the dice. Instead, you can either move forward one space or draw an event card (pass). Among other things, there are event cards to look at the number on an opposing spy, to take the help of the gray spy or to advance a certain number of fields with one of his playing figures, whereby depending on the number of fields between ticket , flitz card and jet Card is distinguished.
