About Spy

Spies are conducting business on all of the continents. Everyone wants to employ as many spies as possible of course. Six cards are lying in the middle of the table, each representing a continent, as well as six cards depicting typical spy tools. Before the start of the game, a spy-chip is placed beside each card. Each player holds three cards in his hand and places one openly in front of him during each round. The cards always show two symbols: a continent and a tool.
