Playtesting Another Joe Carter Game


In 1942, the Philippine Islands were overrun by the Japanese.  The last part to fall was the island of Corregidor in Manila Bay.  When it fell, a small group of eighteen USN sailors from the crew of the minesweeper USS Quail decided to take a thirty-six-foot launch and make their way to Darwin, Australia.  They made it, and a book was written by the man who led them under the title South from Corregidor.  

Joe Carter, for whom I have playtested previously, created a game based on the experience in the book titled Escape from Corregidor, and graciously invited me once again to playtest the new design.  It's a great concept, and so far I have found the design to be solid and a good play.
