James Bond is a game of speed and frantic simultaneous action that takes under five minutes to play. It is played with a standard poker deck with Jokers removed. Each player tries to be the first to transform the piles of cards they have been dealt into sets of four-of-a-kind. They do this by exchanging cards from their piles with the four face-up cards in the center of the table. A player may only hold and look at one of his piles at a time, and may only exchange one card at a time with the one of the cards on the table. There are no turns; everyone works at once. The four face-up cards on the table are thus constantly changing along with the makeup of the players' piles. The first player to have converted all his piles to four-of-a-kind is the winner.

James Bond is also known as Atlantis or Chanhassen. Players must say the game's name when they've finished in order to win.

Note: The date and origins of the game are unknown, although it seems to be recent, perhaps as recent as 2009.
