Round 1 – Choose your Missions (24 players) - COMPLETE
[spoiler]In this round, Bond must complete 4 missions – when signing up, you must choose 1 map from Missions A, B and C (no choice for Mission D). If all the spaces are taken in your chosen map, you will be put in another. Each mission has different objectives, settings and points – read your instructions carefully! At the end of the round, the 8 players with the least points will be eliminated. Tiebreaker in Berlin 1961 if players are level on points. All games in this round are randomly assigned.
Mission A (4 player standard game) - COMPLETE
In all these films, Bond has to deal with ticking timebombs – so speed is of the essence, and you must wrap up victory as quickly as possible. You will receive 5 points for a victory before Round 9 starts, 4 points before Round 12 starts, and 3 points for winners of any longer games…

Mission B (6 player standard game)
In both these missions, Bond is bailed out – whether by Japanese ninjas or Felix Leiter bringing his “Marshall Aid” to the baccarat table (or poker if you prefer the film). So he has parachute reinforcements here, and your objective is to hang around long enough for them to arrive: 6 points for victory, -1 for the first player to be killed.

Mission C (8 player standard game) - COMPLETE
Bond is alone and very isolated in these missions – a prisoner of Dr No in Jamaica, stuck on the moon with Hugo Drax, or in disguise on Emilio Largo’s boat. So simple survival is the order of the day: 1 point for 4th place, 2 points for 3rd place, 4 points for 2nd place, and 8 points for victory.

Mission D (12-player standard game) - COMPLETE
NYC (Live and Let Die)
All players will take part in a crazy 12-player game on the streets of Harlem, as Bond goes in search of Mr Big and tried to avoid his voodoo thugs. You will receive 1 point for every henchman of Mr Big you kill, and 3 additional points are awarded to the game winner.[/spoiler]
Round 2 – The Man with the Golden Gun (16 players) - COMPLETE
[spoiler]At the climax of the cheesy but occasionally brilliant TMWTGG, Bond and Scaramanga face off in a 2-man shootout round Scaramanga’s evil island lair. The 16 remaining players will go head to head round the Island of Doom: seeded by their ranking from round 1. So 1 plays 16, 2 plays 15 etc.
It will be best of 3 games played concurrently (though technically Scaramanga only needs 1 bullet to kill) – and the winner of each shootout proceeds to the final round.
Just watch out for Nik-Nak.
