Description

Play as either The Warden or as one of five playable Gang Leaders. Gang Leaders must plot intricate escape plans and procure escape equipment from across the prison to help navigate one of their many loyal Inmates to Freedom before Turn 29, whilst simultaneously competing with backstabbing rival Gang Leaders, and a perverse Warden. The game plays between 2-6 players. And is played on a 6pc 89cm x 56cm board. An average Story Mode game lasts between 100-150 Mins. The final board will contains an island prison contained within two separate Security Fences, the Inner Prison Walls, and exterior buildings (both marked out with grey outlined hexes). The board is split into 6 segments/’Sectors’ upon which the prison Searchlight and Watchtowers exercise control over using specific ‘Warden Cards’. There are eight potential Freedom Hexes (marked out with the stars and stripes) that an Inmate of a Gang must reach first (before another Gang Leader can) to Win. The boardgame also includes three playable modes: Story Mode, Arcade Mode, and Team Mode. —description from the publisher
