About the game
Weeeewooo Weeeeewooo! The building‘s emergency alarm is ringing! Finding your way out of this concrete maze isn‘t going to be easy. In Emergency Exit Only, each player in turn will play a tile to advance to the exit. But you’ll be playing the tiles on top of each other, so you’ll be putting your spatial visualization skills to the test! Memorize your escape route and make your way through the building together. Play your “Lost tile” when you think you’re lost and the path is dead-end. At the end of the round, lay out your escape route and find out who survived to score points! Start a new round and add one more constraint to add even more panic to the table! —description from the publisher
