About the Game

This is a family game for two-Seven players based on the now legendary escape exploits of Allied Prisoners of War held by the Germans in the multi national maximum security prison of Colditz Castle, during the Second World War. The object of the game is for each player (Escape Officer) to be the first to achieve an escape of one or more of his POW team. He can obtain rope, food, compasses, clothing, and wire cutters to achieve an escape. At the same time the German Security Officer is deploying his forces to prevent escapes.This is just like another game Escape from Colditz but has slightly better rules.
