SCAPE is a game based on an escape attempt by British and Commonwealth prisoners of war from the Stalag Luft III (a German prisoner of war camp) during the Second World War. Can the British and Republic prisoners escape? Only one of them? None?
During the game, players must play cards to make the tunnel or play the action on the card to find out who is who. In order, the active player must play a card (if possible) and pass the turn until all the cards in the game are played. There are two ways to play cards: 1) DOWN FACE: Place a tunnel card in the center of the table to complete the word "SCAPE". If another card with the same letter has already been played this way, you must play it on top. 2) FACE UP: Play the action indicated on the card, then discard it, showing the letter and identity of the card. Finish your turn by drawing until you have four cards (if possible), then the player to your right becomes active.
When all the cards have been played, the first card in each tunnel stack is revealed. If the word SCAPE is not complete, the "SS" player wins the game. If there is a card with the identity "SS" revealed in a pile, the player "SS" wins; otherwise, the team (RAF/USAF) with the most piles with its affiliation wins the game.
