You have been sent to Alcatraz, but you do not plan on staying there very long! You must find a way to escape. With your fellow convicts, you will elaborate a plan to return to freedom. But beware; you do not want to be the one the others leave behind…
In this cooperative game, you will take the role of prisoners trying to escape the prison together. However, for their plan to succeed, the group knows that one of them will have to be left behind as a scapegoat if any of them hope to make it out alive!
However, getting out of prison is not an easy task! Players will have to accomplish various tasks that will put into place an element of their escape plan. The players who, cooperatively, manage to carry out all six phases of the plan together will escape; the others will be caught by the guards and spend the rest of their lives in Alcatraz.
I played this at ConnCon. The guy 'teaching' it kept telling us what actions/moves to make and at one point invoked some kind of fatherly executive privilege and took back a move his son had made to make a better one. The kid was all like "Daddy, no!" It made for quite an uncomfortable experience. The game was fun though, and the art was amazing. I'd definitely be into giving this another go.
