A quick, fun game that is best when played over a few rounds.

Each player, takes on the role of an evil genius (think 007 bad guys). But what's an evil genius without an equally evil lair? So that, in a nutshell, is the premise of this game.. Build your lair up and catch enemy spies.

Every time you successfully capture one, you have the option to double its point value by taunting him. "Before I kill you, I will leave you alone, suspended over this pit of acid with nothing more than your ordinary looking watch." You get the idea. If the taunt is not foiled by another player laying down the exact same card, the points are doubled and you may then really show off the size of your balls by trying it again with a different taunt.

We prefer to play with teams as it adds more of a strategy element to it. Two player teams, with each player building his own individual lair.

From the box:

Imagine, just once, luring the master spy into your evil lair and putting a bullet in his head.

Imagine resisting the temptation to gloat over your prize, to tell him your secret plans, to let him escape certain death and blow up your lair in the process.

Imagine winning.
