About the game
Time to upgrade your escape! The Escape Plan: Upgrade Pack is that bundle of extras everyone who enjoyed the original Kickstarter campaign was waiting for. It's not a new game, but rather a booster for your base Escape Plan, bringing a series of components that enrich the experience and give a premium touch to your table.

Inside this treasure box, you'll find a variety of items ranging from aesthetic improvements to new gameplay possibilities. The 9 Metal Locker Keys and 20 Acrylic Notoriety Stars, along with the 45 Acrylic Player Cubes, replace the standard components with more robust and visually appealing versions, elevating your gaming experience. But it's not just about looks, you know? We also have the Player Power expansion, with 10 cards that add unique abilities for each fugitive, ensuring that every game is different. And for those who like an extra challenge, the Player Missions expansion, with 6 mission cards, 5 mission cubes, and 5 mission tokens, offers new objectives for you to complete as you try to escape the city.

To complete the pack, we also have a 'Gas Can' Contact Card, the Lt. Costa Meeple, and the Inspector Sandra Meeple, which bring more personality and strategic options to the game. Three new Fixer Tiles and a Contact Card Display Board are also included, improving organization and interactions. In short, if you're already a fan of Escape Plan, this Upgrade Pack is the icing on the cake to make your game even more complete and immersive, with deluxe components and new layers of strategy.
