Today’s game arrivals includes a new expansion that didn’t “escape” by us. Here are some of the games that came in this week:

Just when you think you’ve gotten a handle on the challenges in Escape: The Curse of the TempleQueen Games provides you with even more challenges with the Escape: Illusion expansion.

Escape Illusion provides new challenges with 2 new modules. The Chambers of Illusion module replaces the 6 single gem chamber tiles with illusion tiles.  Beware, these illusion tiles will disappear after the 2 countdowns from the temple thereby leaving some chamber tiles detached from the rest.  The Special Chambers module contains 6 new chamber tiles:

  • Three linked chamber tiles that allow you to activate magic gems, thereby making it easier for the adventurers to escape the temple – but the gems can be activated only if players are in two separate such chambers at the same time.
  • Two double chamber tiles that consist of a front and back room, with access to the back room being available only if you add tiles to the temple and snake around to the back. Why do you want to reach this room? More opportunities to activate magic gems and ease your way out of the temple.
  • One treasure chamber tile, containing a chalice that adventurers must bear to the exit tile. If they fail to do so, they lose the game – even if they otherwise would all escape!
  Can it get any crazier?  The answer is definitely yes!
