About the game
Tiny gophers are rushing headlong to reach the surface before the water floods their burrows. The only escape is through some old feed holes filled up by the wind with drifting dust and litter. But there are still some remnants of the things they once hoarded there, such as acorns and berries and other stuff that might come in useful. Underground Panic is a semi-cooperative game. Players join forces to rescue all the gophers by leading them through the tunnels before the water floods their dwelling, trying to gather as many foodstuff as possible during the flight. They can move any of the gophers in their turn, and collect items in their own cheek-poaches. The game ends when all the gophers have escaped from the burrow. Players are rewarded for speed, but the game is continued until there are any gophers under the ground. The player who collects the most victory points wins the game. —description from the publisher Jön a víz! Menekülni kell! Az apró kis ürgék a kijárat felé igyekeznek, de sajnos a szél mindenféle szemetet behordott a járatokon keresztül az ürgelyukakba. Azonban van itt nem kevés élelem, makk és bogyó, valamint más hasznos dolog is, amiket az ürgék valamikor régen itt elraktároztak. A játék célja, hogy együttes erővel minden ürgét szabadítsatok ki a járatokon keresztül, még mielőtt elönti az ürgelyukakat a víz, és eközben minél több pontot hozó terményt gyűjtsetek össze. Nincs saját figurátok; amikor rátok kerül a sor, bármelyik ürgével léphettek. A játék akkor ér véget, amikor minden ürgének sikerül kijutni az ürgejáratból. Azonban nem feltétlenül az a játékos nyer, akinek ez elsőként sikerül! A gyorsaságáért jutalom jár, de a játék mindaddig tart, amíg van ürge a odalent. A győztes az lesz, aki a legtöbb pontot gyűjtötte össze. —description from the publisher (Hungarian)
