**Black Spy** is a trick-taking card game with a film noir twist, inspired by the classic game Hearts. The objective is to finish with the lowest score by strategically collecting the right tricks. Players must carefully pass cards at the start of each round while avoiding the high-scoring Black Spies, which can sabotage their mission.
Success requires tactical decision-making and adaptability, as players navigate shifting alliances and hidden dangers. The game includes multiple variants to enhance replayability, such as introducing moles to disrupt opponents or altering the scoring rules for non-black spies.
Designed for 3 to 6 players aged 14 and up, each session lasts approximately 45 minutes. The blend of strategy and deception makes it a compelling choice for game nights with friends or family.
Things to Keep in MindA frequent point of criticism is the game's misleading advertising for two players, as no specific rules are provided for this player count, making it unsuitable for one-on-one play. Additionally, many reviewers note the oversized packaging and unnecessary components, like coasters, suggesting these inflate the product's price. Why You'll Like ItPlayers consistently praise the game for being easy to learn and teach, describing it as an engaging trick-taking experience with strategic depth and customizable rules, often likened to a flexible version of Hearts. The quality of the cards also receives positive remarks.
