what is “drop squad: the escape!”?
Drop Squad: The Escape! is a board game that is similar to Plinko from The Price Is Right. Players have to navigate their marbles through a series of pegs to their goal, but it’s not as simple as it sounds! Players have to first strategically play their cards to set up ramps before releasing their marbles. At any given time an opponent may block your ramp with one of their own or even use a pivot card to redirect ramps in their favor. The player with the most marbles in their goal at the end of the game wins.
This game is designed to be played by 2-4 players [Ages 5+].

homework and horseplay’s final thoughts…
I am ashamed to admit this, but I generally do not care for board games. I find that they can be very repetitive or difficult to play with young or special needs children. Drop Squad: The Escape! is neither of these things! Jack, Julia, and I truly enjoy playing this game. I haven’t even bothered to put it away since it arrived because Jack asks to play it multiple times every day.
The rule book is very thorough, yet easy to understand. I like that everything is color coded, so there is no need to memorize everything. Which is really important for my special needs son.
Since it only takes about 15-20 minutes to play the game we sneak in a few rounds throughout our homeschool day.
And if you have teenagers at home you know how rare it is for siblings to get along and actually enjoy something together!
I highly recommend this game! I know this is going to be a favorite in our house for a long time.
