Background

Aliens have abducted two each of six species from Earth. All are currently held captive on a spaceship returning to the alien home-planet, with each species in a different cell. Your goal is to have one of each type of species escape to the center of the ship. A group of unique individuals, one for each species, will give you the strength you need to overpower the alien guards and release everyone. Not all escape attempts will be successful, and animals might have to be captured again to allow another to species to escape. Can you organize the escape from the alien ship and return to Earth?

Instructions

Each round, you will choose who will first attract the guards. Guards will start their examinations in that cell, then examine each cell clockwise. When examined, a species could try to escape. The guards will then search the secret hideouts for attempted escapes. After the guards have visited all cells once and exited, you have the choice to return any escaped prisoners to their hideout location. Keep taking turns until there is one of each captive species in the central Escape Area.

Dependencies

Cell Management is built with Pygame using the OLPCgames wrapper.
