What is Colditz
Escape From Colditz is a 1-vs-many semi-cooperative game where one player is the Security Officer of the German forces, and the others are Escape Officers for various nationalities or prisoners of war (POWs). Escape Officers try to acquire the equipment they need for a successful escape (rope, wire cutters, etc.), while the Security Officer tries to hinder them by putting them in solitary confinement and consficating their equipment.
Play lasts for a pre-determined length of time or number of rounds. If an Escape Officer can free a pre-determined number of POWs (usually 2) before then, they win. Otherwise the Security Officer wins.
The game was co-designed by Major PR Reid, a British soldier who was one of the few to actually successfully escape from Colditz during the Second World War.

What the community says about Colditz
I have very good memories from this game, I haven't played it the last 25 years, but I really would like to play it again.
Un clásico en una versión muy mal producida por desgracia.
Es la version de NAC. Mi primer juego de simulacion en tablero serio. Una joya.
Buen juego
Coñazo jugar con los nazis
Es un juego complicado de ganar, un auténtico tira y afloja, independientemente del rol que te toque. No es para jugar muy a menudo.

que juego tan entretenido, supero mis expectativas ya que al ser un clásico, pensé que sería muy monótono, para ser la primera ves que lo jugamos, la final estuvo de infarto.
