I, Spy is a game of paranoia, deceit, and treachery. You take the role of a spy for one of these mighty imperial powers, with your allegiance kept secret from your opponents. Your goal is to maneuver your nation into the most powerful position by the end of the game's 14 rounds. But any action you take -- from traveling on a German train to employing French smugglers -- carries the risk of leaking sensitive intelligence to your rivals, thus bolstering their positions.

In order to operate, risks must be taken, and deals must be struck with foreign powers -- all while keeping an eye on the position of your homeland. To complicate matters, your opponents will be keen to discover your loyalties so that they can undermine your nation's plans, so you must be cautious and discrete when choosing which nations to help or hinder.
