I Spy Board game Ideal 1965

I Spy Board Game Ideal 1965.

In this game each player is a secret agent on a mission and the object is to beat your opponent in completing your mission before they complete theirs. If at any stage during the game you encounter an opponent you would need to make a challenge, using a special dueling mechanism supplied with the game (the best item in the box and more fun than the game). The loser of any duel would then have to re-start their mission from the beginning.

I Spy Target Set Rayline 1965

I Spy Target Set Rayline 1965

I spy target setThis set contained three plastic spies and a plastic gun, which could supposedly fire 50 shots without re-loading. The  plastic pellets for use with the gun were included, and this came bubble packed on a display card. This example is  a misspacked one, One of the plastic target figures was not  sealed on the card, so the set contained only two of the three figures it sould have done. A loose example of the missing figure has been obtained to complete the set. The same plastic gun, which is about 8 inches long, also featured in the other I Spy sets issued by this firm.
