Summary
Escape from Hades is a fun and challenging solo title with loads of replayablity. Don't be fooled with the humorous presentation as the game plays out seriously and it certainly isn't easy to put together a high total of victory points. I have to say the odor emanating from the maps took me by surprise and even after various approaches to eliminating the odor it still remains noticeable, if no longer overwhelming. The rulebook could have used a last once over because I found it wasn't as intuitive as i'd have liked. Nonetheless, these are small critiques and there's plenty to enjoy while trying to make your Escape from Hades.
