"Goldfinger"
briefing: International industrial magnate Auric Goldfinger is suspected
of smuggling gold out of England. But there is no solid evidence against
him. Also, he has backed suspicious gold mining explorations around the
world. Are Goldfinger's actions merely the work of a greedy man, or is
he plotting some more sinister design against an unwilling world?
Your
mission: The British Secret Service has called on you, one of its top secret
agents, to follow Goldfinger and unravel the mystery behind the Man with
the Golden Touch. But you must be careful. If you tip Goldfinger to your
real purpose or force his hand too early, you may find yourself having
to confront his murderous bodyguard, Odd Job.
Also
see the sequel "Goldfinger
II - Man With The Midas Touch".
Module
includes: 48-page Gamesmaster Guide, M.I.6 Agent Dossier w/ 8 Mission Sheets
& folder w/ Maps.
One
player. Ages 8 & up. Victory Games / Avalon Hill from 1983. ISBN 0912515031
NOTE:
Ownership of the Basic Game is required to play modules & supplements.
Additional
info:
The
007, James Bond items from Victory Games were divided into three areas:
Action
Episodes: There are four of these that I can find --- "Goldfinger",
"Live & Let Die",
"Man With The Golden Gun" and "You
Only Live Twice". These involved gameboards or mapboards, Counters,
Cards and interaction by a player involving some episode, usually from
the movie.
Adventure
Modules: These are --- The "007
Basic Set", "A View
To A Kill", "Dr. No",
"For Your Eyes Only",
"Goldfinger", "Goldfinger
II - Man With The Midas Touch", "Live
And Let Die", "Man
With The Golden Gun", "Octopussy",
"You Only Live
Twice" and "You
Only Live Twice II - Back Of Beyond". These were more traditional role-playing
games, with characters built up, dice rolling and imagination used.
Supplements:
These are --- "For
Your Information", "Gamesmaster
Pack", "Q Manual", "Thrilling
Locations" and "Villains".
These were added enhancements for the Adventure Modules.
The
only oddities in the above were the "Bond
Assault Game", which had a mix of Episode & Adventure game and
could be played either way, and "On
Her Majesty's Secret Service", which used Action & NPC cards.
An
important note regarding Avalon Hill games
- It was not unusual for Avalon Hill to re-publish most of their games
with 2nd, 3rd or more Editions. Sometimes the game components changed,
sometimes they didn't. If your game components do not correspond exactly
with what is listed, do not despair. You may just have to do a little more
checking to insure its completeness.
