"Octopussy"
briefing: Somewhere in this opulent city, the mysterious tradesman known
as Kamal Khan is bringing to fruition a plot that will throw the world
into chaos. Elsewhere, in her island palace on Lake Piccola, the beautiful
Octopussy is scheming to multiply her enormous store of priceless jewels.
Meanwhile, on another continent, one of the great treasures of Tsarist
Russia - the Faberge Egg - is being slowly transported by a deadly circus
to wards an unknown destination.
Your
mission: As an agent of M.I.6, the British Secret Service, you must attempt
to find the link between Kamal Khan, Octopussy, and the Faberge Egg. But
your task is far from easy, and it could be lethal. Armed with a few pieces
of special equipment from Q Branch - and your own natural resourcefulness
- you must uncover and defeat an underworld plan of international import.
For if you fail, the world itself could face destruction.
Module
includes: 48-page Gamesmaster Guide, M.I.6 Agent Dossier w/ 8 Mission Sheets
& folder featuring Rogues Gallery.
One
player. Ages 8 & up. Victory Games / Avalon Hill from 1983. ISBN 091251504X
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.
