Will you be able to escape from Alexander the Great’s forces?

The chase has begun – RUN!

You have been caught by the pillaging forces of Alexander the Great and taken to Babylon against your own will as spoils of war.

You have managed to break out and climb over the walls of Babylon. However, Alexander does not let prisoners escape so easily and he sends out hunting parties led by a dreadful Warlord.

You have to escape the hordes coming after you and reach the safety of your home in the City of Susa.

FAQ:

Q: Can multiple meeples be in the same space?

A: No. Move your meeple to the next available space.

Q: If I’m stuck in a Village and other players pass me during the turn, do I get to move too?

A: Only if your movement priority number is up after the other players have already passed you. If it would be your time to move but there are players behind you and you are stuck in a Village, you don’t get to move at all that turn.

Q: If I get the Ambush token, do I first draw and refill my hand before one card is taken out at random?

A: Yes.

Q: What happens if the Warlord passes my meeple?

A: This isn’t possible. Whenever the Warlord catches a player it stops to combat the player, who either successfully flees to the next available space, or is caught by the Warlord and thus eliminated from the game.

Q: Can players negotiate with each other which cards to play?

A: Yes, though remember, only the first player to Susa wins the game.

Q: If a player is stuck in a Village, do they still need to play a movement card from their hand, even if they can’t move?

A: Yes. Note that other players may overtake the player with the Token during the round, causing the Token to be removed and Movement card to be resolved.

Q: Can there be a tie?

A: No. The first player who reaches Susa wins the game immediately.

Q: Can I still continue playing if I get caught by the Warlord?

A: No. If you are caught, meaning you failed to escape with the dice roll and you lost your final movement card, then you are eliminated from the game. Start planning your next escape!

Q: Do I win the game if other players are eliminated?

A: No. You still need to reach Susa following the regular game rules, even if you are the last player.

Q: What happens if I have several Companion (+2) tokens?

A: You add all bonuses to your very next die roll. After the roll you discard the tokens.

Q: Which player starts the game?

A: All players play at the same time. There is no first player.
