Escape Plan
Escape Plan is a eurogame that tightens the table rather than letting everyone quietly solve their own puzzle. At five players, it gets properly wild.

I played Escape Plan twice in a row, once with four and once with five, and came away wearing the rather pleased expression of someone who has watched a eurogame refuse to sit quietly in its corner.
It works with four, but five makes it bite. Space gets tighter, everyone else matters more, and the game develops a rough edge you do not often find in the genre. You are not simply following your own plan; you are trying to squeeze it through everybody else's. That is where it gets good.

Escape Plan is the sort of euro that makes you look at the people around the table, not only at your own board. With five, it is at its tightest and most lively. Buy it with your eyes closed.
