The game represents the famous 1672 pirate-led jailbreak
from the fortress of Cartagena. It is said that a game celebrating the
great escape became popular in the pirate coves of the Caribbean. Each
player has a group of 6 pirates and his objective is to have all 6 escape
through the tortuous underground passage that connects the fortress to the
port, where a sloop is waiting for them.
