Description

In Der Tunnel: Escape from East Berlin, you'll be on the edge of your seat as you navigate the high-stakes world of Cold War espionage. One player takes on the role of a defector trying to escape to the West, while the other plays as an investigator for the secret police. The defector must carefully assign their members to tasks like tunnel construction and fundraising, all while keeping their plans hidden from the investigator. As the game unfolds, the investigator will try to arrest the defectors by placing cards that match the members' specialties. But the defector has a few tricks up their sleeve - they can release arrested members on bail and use their unique skills to stay one step ahead. With simple rules and a playtime of just 15 to 40 minutes, Der Tunnel is a quick and thrilling game of cat and mouse that's perfect for two players looking for a fun and strategic challenge.
