Description

In 1 A.M. Jailbreak, you're on a mission to help prisoners escape from your hand, and the goal is to be the first to get them all to freedom. The game is simple to learn, with easy-to-explain rules that get you started fast, and it's designed for 2 to 5 players to join in on the fun. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, you can squeeze in a few rounds and see who comes out on top. Each player starts with a hand of twelve cards and five cards are dealt face up into the "cell", and from there, it's a game of strategic hand management to get your prisoners through the tunnel. As you take your turns, you'll need to think carefully about which cards to play and when, trying to empty your hand before the other players do. You can play 1-3 cards at a time, as long as they're the same value or in sequential order, and you can even "shoot ahead" to add to the previous player's cards and give yourself a bigger set to play off of. The game is designed by Saashi and was published in 2024, and it's a great example of a card game that's easy to learn but challenging to master. With its simple rules and fast-paced gameplay, 1 A.M. Jailbreak is a great choice for anyone looking for a quick and exciting game to play with friends.
