Spy is another Pack O’ Games game. Like the others, it is very small. Big difference though: this one doesn’t require a table. Everything is done in your hand. In it you are spying on other players and trying to go through all four of their safes before a) they go through yours or b) you set off their bombs. You set off a bomb by spying on it twice. The first time, the other player flips it upside down. The second time, it goes off leaving a nice crater.
I like the lack of table necessity. Very useful for car rides. It’s also very simple, there are only like three types of cards (bomb, safe, top secret safe). And the spies. Is it just me or does the red spy seem very Soviet?
You definitely have to know how to mirror things to play this. The hands mirror each other for parts of the game. This is how you “spy” on people. They tell you the card type that mirrors the place your spy in your hand is.
I will always go back to the brilliant portability of these games. It makes it really simple to take places and its another reason that this can be played in the car.
