Welcome to Alcatraz Prison, where you will 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.

Inspired by real life escapes made by inmates Frank Morris, and John and Clarence Anglin.

As well as from our favourite movies and TV shows such as The Shawshank Redemption, Escape from Alcatraz, The Great Escape, Escape at Dannemora, The Rock, and Prison Break.

As well as our favourite games like Memoir ’44 and Escape from Colditz.

The game plays between 2-6 players. And is played on a foldable 889mm x 556mm hex board.

The board has over 1500 accessible hexes that allow massive freedom of movement and freedom of strategy.

The board shows Alcatraz Island, consisting of the Inner Prison Walls and exterior buildings, two separate Security Fences,

and the island’s coastline.

The board is quick to set-up and 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 does) to Win.

The boardgame includes four playable modes : Story Mode, Arcade Mode, Team Mode and Riot Mode.

An average Story Mode game lasts between 100-150 Mins.

Each copy of ‘The Great Alcatraz Escape’ comes with 70 variously coloured meeples, and 100 playing cards (sneak peaks below).
