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.
The game features fast-paced combat and a unique stealth system that gives agents the option of using silence or violence to take on the base.
Time itself is a resource, agents can ‘spend time’ to accomplish a variety of actions (from breaching doors to sabotaging the base’s generator) but they must spend it with care – every minute takes the world closer to doomsday and victory for the SWORD.
It’s time to spy… or die trying!

Another kickstarter...... >:D

What it scares me is that I got advertising for two games of the notorious Rik Falch... including Up Front... the one ring equivalent of kickstarter...

The idea is good but the board would benefit from a graphical overhaul by a professional artist. So much grey... It's unappealing to look at.

Hi all,
The Kickstarter for Spy or Die Trying is going well this time - we had to restart due to a few technical issues and have changed much of the rewards to make it more appealing, found a cheaper printer and we are currently getting the miniatures sculpted by a top sculptor. You can see the kickstarter here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1439320213/spy-or-die-trying (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1439320213/spy-or-die-trying)
Kickstarter has been a god send to small independent game publishers like ourselves at Warm Acre. There are only two of us (with loads of help from family and friends) and we decided to use Kickstarter so we can produce the highest quality game we can.
We have some fabulous artwork by the talented Aly Fell: http://www.darkrising.co.uk/ (http://www.darkrising.co.uk/)

The board is now much more colourful and has been artworked to a higher standard than the Hour of Glory board we produced nearly 12 years ago. Please see a couple of samples at our Board Game Geek page: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/138682/spy-or-die-trying (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/138682/spy-or-die-trying) and there's one here:
