As a collector of games (I have thousands of them ranging from the 1850's and up), I thought I would begin sharing current board games which bring 'Search for Treasure, Mystery, and Adventure' to the game table! If you have to be home that doesn't mean you can't be having fun looking for treasure, solving mysteries, or enjoying adventures! The new category or segment will be called MW Game Night Ideas! The first of this segment is Spy Alley! mysteriouswritings.com/mw-game-night-ideas-spy-alley-board-game/This really is a unique and fun game! (although I only talk about the one version, there is a 'Junior Version' available as well)

The story of the game (as told in the directions) is as follows: “Your team of adventurers has been sent on a mission to excavate an ancient desert city and recover a legendary flying machine that’s rumored to be powered by the sun. Moments before arriving at your destination, an unexpected sand storm forces your helicopter to make a crash landing. Now stranded in the vast desert and exposed to an unrelenting storm, your only hope for survival is to quickly excavate the city, find the parts to the flying machine and rebuild it for the escape. If, however, any of team expires from thirst or the storm gets too intense, your whole team loses and you become permanent artifacts of the Forbidden Desert!” Read more on MW's Game site: allaboutfunandgames.com/forbidden-desert-thirst-for-survivalAvailable on Amazon
