Description

Players are Napoleon-wannabes in an insane asylum. Players move from room to room fighting other "Napoleons". The loser gains from his experience, increasing strength by one and is randomly teleported somewhere else. The winner, collects a card from the losing player, or the draw stack. The cards have letters that can be used to form one of six words that permit escape from the asylum.
