Gone Cardboard: Excape, Coming from Rio Grande

Filosofia released a new version of Reiner Knizia’s Exxtra in early 2009 dubbed Excape. While that game was released only in French, Rio Grande is releasing an English-language version of the game with an expected street date of April 1, 2009. For those not familiar with the game, here’s a description:

Each player has a pair of unique dice, and on a turn you roll the dice – possibly multiple times – to try to create a large, two-digit number. If you roll doubles, you advance 1-3 spaces and can keep rolling; if you roll an X, your turn ends. If you stop rolling, you place your number on a chart labeled 0-5, and if no one places a higher sum on a lower number before your next turn, you advance on the track a number of spaces equal to the number on which you placed the dice. The first player to reach the end of the track wins.

Excape is for 3-6 players with a retail price of $30. This game has been added to Gone Cardboard.
