Escape from Colditz

Escape From Colditz is an exciting 1-vs-many semi-cooperative board game. One player takes on the role of the German forces' Security Officer, while the others become Escape Officers representing different nationalities or prisoners of war (POWs). The Escape Officers strive to gather essential equipment like ropes and wire cutters for a successful escape. Meanwhile, the Security Officer tries to stop them by putting them in solitary confinement and seizing their gear. The game lasts for a set time or number of rounds. If the Escape Officers can free a set number of POWs (usually 2) before the end, they win. Otherwise, the Security Officer takes the victory. This game was co-designed by Major PR Reid, a British soldier who managed to escape from Colditz during World War II. It comes in A5 size.

How to play: Decide who will be the Security Officer and who will be the Escape Officers. The game will run for a set time or number of rounds. The Escape Officers should work together to collect the equipment they need for the escape. The Security Officer should try to stop them. If the Escape Officers free 2 POWs before the game ends, they win. Otherwise, the Security Officer wins. Things to note: Make sure all players understand the rules before starting the game. Keep track of the time or number of rounds. Maintenance advice: Keep the game components in a dry and cool place to avoid damage. If there are any small parts, store them in a container to prevent loss.
