Spy Guy: Fantasy is a board game released in 2024 for 1–4 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 5 and up. It was designed by Mariusz Majchrowski and its main mechanics are Cooperative Game and Real-Time.
Citizens of the Trefelick town have turned pale with fear. The mighty dragon Balasar stole townspeople's treasure and hid it in his cave. Spy Guy travels to a world boasting with spells and magical creatures in order to locate the powerful dragon's lair and retrieve people's valuables for them. But finding the dragon's vault and snatching what's inside is the easier part. It's going to be much harder for Spy Guy to get back safely to town before the dragon realises what happened and starts chasing our hero! Spy Guy Fantasy is a cooperative game that is all about having a keen eye for detail and working as a team. Together, look for clues on the giant board. The more you find, the better your odds of finding the treasure and getting away from the dragon!

The listed playing time for Spy Guy: Fantasy is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

The catalogue lists Spy Guy: Fantasy for ages 5 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
