Description

Seven criminals are escaping from the prison island Monte Ganovo and must reach the 4 small boats waiting for them. But the first boat is a sinking wreck whilst the fourth boat is a modern speedboat, so the seven must time their run down the path to be last, not first. The players start by writing down their prediction of the finishing order of the prisoners, then use the matching colored dice to move the prisoners forward or backward along the path to the boats. The boats are numbered 1 to 4, so the better your prediction, the more points you score. A very funny but simple dice roller, which works better with more players. The game is re-issued in 1998 by Simba as Trödeln, where the children want to be last into class so they sit at the back.
