About the game
What you do in a play session
Escape: The Curse of the Temple – Queenie 2: Doomed is an expansion that adds three new tiles to the base game, originally given to Kickstarter backers. Two of them are curses: 'Doomed' and 'Stand Up'. If a player is cursed with 'Doomed', they can't escape the temple until the curse is lifted. 'Stand Up' forces the player to remain standing until the curse is broken—yes, it's as annoying as it sounds! The third tile is a treasure called 'Counterspell', which can be used to discard one curse card, offering a strategic breather amid the temple's chaos. This expansion adds an extra layer of tension and cooperation to the game, as players must work together to handle the new curses while the clock ticks down. Perfect for those who want an extra challenge in this race against time!
