Escape from New York
Players: 1-4
Time: 60 – 90 min
Interaction: Semi-Cooperative
Audience: Serious
Escape from New York is a board game adaptation of the beloved John Carpenter movie. You play as Snake, Brain, Maggie, or Cabbie and attempt to rescue the president, all while dealing with gangs of the most dangerous prison, the island of Manhattan!
You will play the roles of the heroes, exploring the dangerous streets of New York, searching for the president, his case containing the government tape, and a diagram of the bridges out. You can work together, searching for these three things, or you may decide to secretly satisfy your own personal objective at any moment during the game, escaping from New York alone and betraying your companions. Whatever your decision will be, you must face the Bands of Manhattan, headed by the Duke of New York, who will hinder you by moving Prisoners and Bosses to eat up as much of the short time-frame you have to complete your mission.
