Das “Escape From New York”-Brettspiel

Wusste ich auch noch nicht. Ich hab eine Schwäche für allerlei Filmumsetzungen. Egal ob als Computer- oder Brettspiel und mag sie auch besonders gerne wenn sie schlecht sind. Ich hab z.B. ein paar wirklich öde Indiana-Jones-Brettspiele aus den 80ern. Dieses Brettspiel zu Die Klapperschlange aka Escape From New York war mir bisher allerdings unbekannt. Die Description:

“‘Snake, I thought you were dead!’ This modest board game, based on the John Carpenter movie, casts each player as Snake Plissken, an ex-con sent on a rescue mission into a giant prison once known as New York City. Players begin with weapons and equipment cards used to help fight enemies and find clues. Cards can be lost in fights or gained at landmark spaces. Turn in matching clue cards at the corresponding location to rescue the president or his important tape. To escape, you still need to find a glider or a map to the mine fields.

Fans of the movie will enjoy the chance to encounter Slag, Brain, Cabbie, Maggie, the Duke, and Romero with the opportunity to gain them as allies during the game. Players win by obtaining the Tape first and foremost, failing that – the President himself. The game is very faithful to the movie and players will find that they can mirror many scenes of the movie in the game.”
