They are afforded the opportunity to use their wit and strategy to outsmart other opponents during the competition for these resources. For a player to win, they must be the first to reach freedom through any means possible. In this board game.
Prisoners vie for resources in an attempt to escape the prison, creating a feeling of freedom and elation. During their escape attempts the prisoners are pursued by a Sheriff, evoking the feeling of frenzied tension.
