Review of Before I Kill You, MIster Bond…

This is the game where you get to try to kill the spy before he or she destroys your secret lair. Every turn you can play cards to build your lair with fax machines, lemonade stands, and caverns of woe. Each of these cards has a point value, which determines whether or not the hideout can capture a spy or be destroyed. Every turn you can send a spy out, to be captured in your lair or to attempt to destroy someone else's lair. Do you build your own hideout hoping to use your high point spy, or do you mercilessly tear down your opponents lairs every chance you get? If you catch a spy you can destroy them, or you can play a taunt and double their value. The only problem is that every taunt has a letter on it and if another player has a taunt with that letter the spy busts out and destroys your lair. What do you do?

This is a game that seems to play better with more people, and some of the lines in here are true gut-busters. Try this game. You will not be disappointed. It gets an "A."

Style: 4 (Classy and well done)
Substance: 5 (Excellent!)
