Pineapple Cake Prison Break (2024)

What's the best way to break out of prison? You could smuggle some tools, dig a hole, and crawl out. Or you could horde ingredients from the bakery and make a pineapple cake to bribe the guards to look the other way while you grab their keys. In Pineapple Cake Prison Break, players race to be the first to escape jail. The core rule set involves bluffing. On your turn, offer another player a card face down and say what one of the objects on it could be. They say if they believe you or not. Reveal. If they were correct, they choose to keep it or not. If they were wrong, you choose. Both of you want to finish a set of 5 tools or 5 ingredients. But you also want to avoid 3 matching items, which will get you caught and reward the other player. You may also play without bluffing rules, either half-truths or open information. All three rulesets emphasize strategically choosing which player to target and which card to offer. The game is enriched with optional action cards that can dramatically change the game. They are still offered to another player and may backfire if they catch you bluffing about them. Includes rules for solo and co-op play. —description from the publisher
