Bandido is trying to escape! You need to cooperate with the other players to place your cards so that all tunnels are blocked and Bandido cannot break out of jail.

After choosing the level of difficulty (middle card with 5 or 6 exits), each player takes three cards. At your turn, place one of your cards to connect it to one or more cards already on the table. After you have placed your card, take a new card from the draw pile. If you can’t play, you can place your cards under the draw pile and take three new cards. Take care not to place a card that makes it impossible to block off a tunnel (in this case, the game ends and you lose).

The game ends when you manage to block off all tunnels and you have won the game together. If one tunnel remains open after all cards have been placed, Bandido escapes and you all lose.
