The tabletop game Escape: The Curse of the Temple is back with a new adventure,. The latest installment of the Queen Games Indiana Jones-esque game is currently on Kickstarter.
Escape: The Curse of the Temple is 2012 cooperative tabletop game that combines adventure, music, dice, and teamwork. The objective of Escape: The Curse of the Temple is for players to make their way through the temple with the use of magic gems that must be collected along the way—but with a twist. The teams of explorers are up against the clock, the mission needs to be finished within ten minutes, a time limit which is scored by a soundtrack that features countdown cues to keep things moving. Escape has three expansion packs, Illusions, Quest, and Traps ꦿeach with either new characters, chambers, or booby🧔-trap.
This version of Escape has all of the fast-paced fun of its original board but only requires a pen and pencil. Players must still venture through the temple using nothing but their dice and effective communication skills, but now they face an ever-changing board. Escape Write & Roll is made up of 200 temple sheets, which players must navigate together in order to collect their treasure and make their way out, marking things ♛off as they go. This time around, players each have their own temple to expl𝄹ore and must field additional hurdles, like coordinating with other players on their own board, to maximize their gem collecting.
Because this is a Kickstarter additional perks are offered for pledging. $20 will purchase Escape Write & Roll with four Dice Shrine Chambers while $60 will get contributors the game itself along with the base game of Escape. The project has been complete𓂃ly funded and perks will be di♒stributed in November of 2020, but backing is still possible until June 1st!
