About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a tense solo adventure with "Don't Let Them Get You"! Originally created for a print-and-play game contest, this title uses two standard decks of cards and a few pieces to put you in a movie-worthy escape scenario. The premise is classic: you're somewhere you shouldn't be, you have important missions to complete (maybe more than one!), and you need to bolt before the enemies catch you. It's a game of hand management and point-to-point movement, where every card played and every step taken counts towards your survival. The modular board ensures that each game is a new challenge, and the feeling of being cornered is palpable. If you enjoy the adrenaline of solo games with a maze-like feel and the simplicity of using materials you might already have at home, this game is for you. It forces you to think strategically to optimize your moves and resources, all in a quick and straightforward package. It's perfect for those moments when you want an immersive experience without needing hours of setup or complex rules. With each turn, the tension builds, and the question is: can you escape in time?
