== Summary and object of the game ==
Escape is a real-time board game. Instead of playing the game in rounds, each player rolls their five dice as quickly and as often as they can without waiting for their teammates!

Players have only ten minutes to escape from the collapsing temple. Every second you delay brings you a step closer to being entombed. While searching for the exit, the players will discover new chambers – but they’ll need the right combination of adventurer, key and torch icons to enter and explore gems these chambers. Some chambers contain magic gems, and players must use their dice to activate as many as many gems as possible in order to break the curse blocking the exit. The sooner they find the exit chamber and the more magic gems they activate, the easier it will be for them to escape.

Watch out, though, as twice during the game a gong will sound throughout the temple heralding a countdown. Hurry back to the starting chamber as only this location is guaranteed to be safe. Fail to make it back in time, and you lose one of your precious dice. Be sure to coordinate your actions and look out for one another as some tasks can be completed only collectively. What's more, even if only one player fails to escape the temple in time, all of you have lost the game!

== The actions ==

1. Enter a chamber - A player may enter a chamber only if its entrance is not blocked. In order to enter a chamber, the player must roll the icons shown in a red frame inside the new chamber.

2. Discover a new chamber - A player inside a chamber with one or more unblocked entrances that don’t already connect to other chambers may discover a new chamber. A player must roll two adventurer icons in order to draw one new chamber from the draw pile

3. Activate magic gems - A player inside a chamber containing one or more magic gem icons must roll the required number of
torch or key icons in order to activate the number of magic gems shown. After a gem has been successfully activated. Several adventurers inside a chamber containing one or more magic gem icons may join forces in order to obtain the required number of key or torch icons. If at least one of a chamber’s gems has been activated, no adventurer may activate any further gems inside this chamber.

4. Escape - A player can escape only if they are inside the exit chamber. In order to escape, a player must roll as many keys as
the number of gems in the gem depot plus one. Each player must roll the required number of key icons by themself! After a player has escaped, they no longer need all of their tools, so they can give one of their dice to any adventurer still inside the temple. This adventurer may use the die immediately.

5. Provoke a turn of fate - If there are too many accursed dice in play, players may transfer one of the two gems lying next to the depot to the depot. Then, all adventurers may re-roll all of their accursed dice (black masks). Players must reach this decision unanimously! A turn of fate can be provoked only twice during the course of the game.

== End of the game ==
The game ends after 10 minutes – that is, at the end of the third countdown. If any adventurer is inside the temple when it collapses, then all players have lost the game!

== Variants ==
Jumping of the shallow end: less 2 magic gems.

Experts: 3 additional magic gems.

Professionals: 6 additional magic gems

Module 1: Curses - for a harder game - gain curses as you discover chambers that hinder your escape

Module 2: Treasures - collect treasures to aid your escape

==Gameplay==

Dice equal to the number of players +1 are rolled each turn. Each player takes one die, and the die not chosen is used by all players.

Players can choose a spot on a cat tower column and then place an item, so that the dice values match the height and the item.

When a column is completed for the first time in the game, the player will receive the larger number indicated at the top if they have a cat house symbol in that column. Otherwise that player and all other players will receive the smaller value when a column is completed.

You can pass your turn to circle three footprints on the track at the right. These footprints allow you to change die values. Multiple footprints can be used on a single die, but a 6 cannot be changed into a 1 nor a 1 into a 6.

==End==

The game ends when a player completes three columns and all players have had an equal number of turns.

==Scoring and Item Effects==

*1 Cat house: After placing a cat house on your sheet, choose a cat that has not yet been scored. Immediately score 2 points for each item on your sheet matching the chosen cat's favourite item. If all your cats have already been chosen, you may not place more cat houses.

*2 Ball of yarn: At the end of the game, players will count the number of balls of yarn in each column. Players with the most in each column will get 8 points. If a player doesn’t have the most but still has at least one ball of yarn they will score 3 points for that column. If players tie for the most balls of yarn in a column, they will each get 8 points.

*3 Butterfly toy: Immediately circle two unmarked footprints. At the end of the game, players will score 3 points for each butterfly.

*4 Food bowl: At the end of the game, players will score 1 point for each different item adjacent to a food bowl.

*5 Cushion: At the end of the game, each cushion will score points equal to the floor number it is on. For example, a cushion at height 5 will score 5 points.

*6 Mouse toy: At the end of the game, players will receive 2/6/12/20 points according to each group of mouse toys adjacent to one another. Multiple groups can be scored.

==The Heist==

On your turn, draw a card and place it face up next to any room so that the squares line up. You may rotate the card if you like. Then move your pawn up to 5 sqaures orthogonally (not diagonally).

Black can move onto black and grey squares.

White can move onto white and grey squares.

If your thief stands on the same item on two different squares, you have successfully stolen it.

If a third version of that item appears on the card drawn, one of the other two cards displaying that item must be flipped over (revealing a guard) and can no longer be entered. If there is a thief in that room, they remain there and lose that item and must re-steal it elsewhere.

The thieves win if they steal all the items on the score sheet before a 4th guard is revealed.

Kabarena: /* Animals */

==Objective==
Each player places animals in their two farms, red and blue, over 10 rounds to gain the most points.

==Gameplay==
During a round, dice (equal to the number of players +1) are rolled. On your turn pick a die and move a farmer meeple clockwise that number of spaces and collect the two animals depicted on the space that you land on. If you move the red farmer, you place the animals on your red farm. If you move the blue farmer, you place the animals on your blue farm.

Farmers may not share the same space. If the number on the chosen die would land you on the other farmer's spot, you land one space farther.

A round ends once each player has placed two animals. With the remaining die, rotate the top wheel clockwise the number of spaces equal to the die value.

==Milk==
You have the option to spend milk to change the number on the die to be a lower or higher number. Each player starts with 3 milk cartons and any milk remaining by the end of the game is 1 point each.

==Scoring==
===Milk===
1 point per milk remaining
===Balance===
Aim to have an equal number of animals across your farms. Any difference in numbers is minus points. For example if you have 10 animals on your red farm and 8 animals on your blue farm, you will get -2 points.
===Animals===
Some animals are scored per farm:

*1 pig = 1 point
*2 pigs = 6 points (orthogonally adjacent)
*1 sheep = 0 points
*2 sheep = 2 points (orthogonally adjacent)
*3 sheep = 12 points (orthogonally adjacent)
*Each chicken = 2 points
*Cows and calves (orthogonally adjacent) are multiplied, e.g. 2 cows x 4 calves = 8 points

Other animals are scored across both farms:

*Whoever has most horses gets 10 points. The player with the second most gets 6 points (0 points in a 2-player game). In the case of a draw both players get 10 points and second place points do not apply.
*Forest friends (all other animals) give you 1/4/8/12/18 points per set of unique animals

==Objective==
Score the most points by guessing what others associate with the clue word.

==Gameplay==
* The game consists of 4 rounds.
* At the start of each round, reveal a new clue word.
* Each player chooses 1 to 10 cards that they think are related to the clue word, marking each chosen card with a checkmark at the bottom left.
* Everyone reveals how many cards they chose, and the one who chose the most goes in the dark (ties don't count).
* Starting from the scout, each player chooses 1 of their cards to reveal.
* If more than 2 players chose the same card, they all get a spark and score 2 points.
* If exactly 2 players chose that card, they each get a super-spark and score 3 points.
* If only that player chose that card, that player falls and cannot score any more points this round. If that player is also in the dark, they deduct 1 point for each spark and super-spark.
* The round ends when all players either fall or have no cards remaining to reveal.
* After each round, 5 cards from a row are replaced and the scout goes to the next player.

==End of the Game==
The game ends after 4 rounds. The player with the most points wins. If there is a tie, they share the victory.
