Escape from Elba PDF

$5.00

You’re Napoleon, and so is everybody else. In Escape From Elba, you’ll race around an asylum with a bunch of other fake Napoleons, trying to assemble letter cards to form weapons and the keys for your escape. There’s no telling what’s real and what’s not in this madcap escape game for 3 to 6 players.

This is the mostly-original version of Escape from Elba, from Cheapass Games, with PDF files for game board, cards, envelope, and rules.

As with all our print-and-play files, the price for this product is strictly optional. You may also download it for free using the first link below.

You’re Napoleon, and so is everybody else, in this escape-themed board game where you build words out of trash.

Yeah, it’s like that. See, you’re really inmates in some kind asylum, where everyone happens to think they are Napoleon escaping from Elba. Or maybe this is exactly how it really happened. The more you think about it, the less sure you become.

Despite being a game you’ve never heard of, Escape From Elba is really quite fun, and it’s lovingly illustrated by our good friend John Kovalic, of Munchkin fame.
