Escape the Crimps
2 to 5 player competitive gameplay.
Crimps seek to trick your drunken sailors into serving on ships led by cruel captains heading to unknown locations.
Get them out from under the piers of 1880’s Astoria, OR, and escape the crimps in this fast paced 2-5 player game!
Guide your sailors to safety!
Based on the history and myths of the crimping trade in coastal towns,
you take on the role of a sailor desperately seeking to escape a grim fate on a ship headed to ports unknown!
Crimps, garbage, sea lions, drunken sailors, and unpredictable paths await you in this competitive game
Control your sailors as they try to escape, but also control the crimps to catch other players’ sailors
Place garbage tiles to block other sailors’ movements, and use the sea lion to push the sailors and crimps into each other
When you draw a Hooch Bottle tile, you’ll move a crimp in any direction you want
Slipstream along other players’ paths to save time and avoid capture
Whoever gets the most of their sailors off the board wins
