Exit Strategy is a 2-6 player maze-making game. Make for the opposite corner, while blocking your friends with your walls! How To Play: Exit Strategy is played on a hex board, with a different color on each corner. On each turn you can either move your character 1 space or place a wall anywhere on the board to block off two edges. The goal is to try and reach your hex, on the opposite side of the board from where you start. The game is also a race, playing for places not just who reaches first. Extra rules: You have limited walls which are decided depending on how many players are in the game. You can't place a wall to make it impossible for someone to finish. You can't move onto another players destination tile You may JUMP over other player pieces. You can jump to any 5 hexes on the other side of the player you are jumping over but your path cannot be blocked by a wall. -description from the designer
