About the game
This is a small expansion for The Snitch. After completing a scheme, you don't just put the scheme card aside, you have to place it on the Prison Showers card. Depending on where you place the card, you complete a specific mission that gives you a benefit or penalty. When completing the final scheme, you also find one bullet for your gun. You'll need it if you want to wound the snitch, so he can't ruin your escape attempt. The expansion has two sides: side A: This side is perfect for beginners because it makes the escape easier. New players still have to learn the game and make more mistakes, so it's easier for the snitch to win. By using side A, you compensate for this lack of experience. side B: This side is only for experienced players who find it quite easy to escape. Side B makes the escape more difficult. Good news for the snitch! -description from publisher
