Spy or Die Trying Kickstarter

Make your bid for global domination or fight to save the world in Spy or Die Trying, the game of base infiltration and espionage

The Game

Spy or Die Trying is an asymmetrical board game that pits agents of the Peace Enforcing Nations (PEN) against the might of the Secret World Order (SWORD)
If you join the SWORD, you’ll command a fortified base, complete with fanatical guards, mad scientists and trap-setting technicians to eliminate uninvited guests. Your objective is to develop a doomsday weapon and defend your secrets. Because in just 60 minutes the world could be yours!

 As an agent of the PEN, you can play alone or with 2 other players. You must infiltrate the base, collect intelligence about the doomsday weapon and escape. You’ll be outnumbered and hunted, and you have only 60 minutes before the base goes into lockdown, sealing your fate and the fate of world! All you have is your wits, your unique talents and (of course) some cool spy gadgets to help you accomplish your mission.

Found this kickstarter the other day and it looks like it will be a lot of fun. You can get miniatures to replace the counters that come in the game  They look rather good and the set and figures are at a good price.

Give it a check out the gameplay videos are good.

Anna Chekhova
Nationality: Russian
Former occupation: Assassin
Specialization: Combat

One of the KGB’s youngest operatives, Anna has been trained to kill since she was a child.
After being employed in a feud between Party members, in which she racked up an unprecedented body count, she became liability. She was only rescued from early 'retirement' by the intervention of the Peacekeepers. Director Shakespeare has taken it on himself to rehabilitate Agent Chekhova while (somewhat hypocritically) putting her lethal talents to good use.

Harry Swift
Nationality: British
Former occupation: Con artist
Specialization: Stealth

Harry has a flair for the dramatic and might have pursued a career on the stage had he not fallen in with the criminal underworld. Unfortunately his criminal activities brought him into conflict with both the S.W.O.R.D. and Interpol.
Recognizing his unique talents, the Peacekeepers intervened, promising to keep his history a secret if he joined them in the good fight.
When he’s not saving the world from evil masterminds, Agent Swift is often drawn back into old habits, fleecing unwitting aristocrats and seducing the occasional millionaire’s widow.

Kimberly Parker
Nationality: American
Former occupation: Detective
Specialization: Science

When Harvard graduate Kim joined the Federal Bureau of Investigations she thought her troubles were over; finally someone would look beyond her breasts and acknowledge her academic potential. Unfortunately her unparalleled grasp of cryptography, engineering and psychology were also overlooked by her peers in Washington. When a transfer to the Peacekeepers was offered, she jumped at the chance to finally put her talents to good use – fighting evil all over the world.




Claymore

Nationality: American
Base of Operations: Caribbean
Specialization: Atomics

‘Claymore’ was a respected physicist who had been working on an atomic program for his native Haiti when the dictator François ‘Papa Doc’ Duvalier came to power. After his wife was killed by government thugs Claymore fled to Miami, became an American citizen and was forced to turn to crime to survive. To his own amazement he rose through the ranks of the underworld like a rocket. His intellect, natural charisma and ruthless pragmatism forged a criminal empire that stretched down the east coast and deep into Latin America. As a crime boss he destroyed his rivals and spurned alliance proposals until the SWORD approached him with an irresistible offer: they would finance his research if he would help them ‘liberate’ the world’s underdeveloped nations. Claymore has an unshakable hatred of superstition, derived from Papa Doc’s use of Voodoo to terrorize Haiti into submission.
