Before I Kill You, Mr. Bond is a card game designed by James Ernest and marketed by his company, Cheapass Games. In BIKY, the players take the roles of supervillains in a spy movie, luring superspies (like "Mr. Bond") into elaborate traps and attempting to kill them by playing taunt cards. Other players can foil the taunts by playing another taunt with a letter that corresponds to the first taunt. If this happens, the superspy escapes and destroys the fortress of the player attempting to kill him.
In 2000, following a Cease and desist order from Eon Productions, the owners of the James Bond franchise, the game was taken out of print. It was reissued in 2004 as James Ernest's Totally Renamed Spy Game.
