Cartagena is a board game that represents the famous 1672 pirate-led jailbreak from the fortress of Cartagena, supposedly becoming popular in the coves of the Caribbean.
With its very simple concept, this game of strategy gives each player a group of six pirates and the objective is to have all six escape through the tortuous underground passage that connects the fortress to the port, where a sloop is waiting for them.

This game seems to be very simple at the first sight, but it's has quite a lot of depth anyway.
It CAN be a slow game, if some player really want to think a lot at each turn, but with a group where the players prefer to play more intuitively, it's a great "filler", as it has quite short duration.
Its a really simple game, but we realised soon that it was an extremely good game, which would be a good game to fill up with when everyone still want to play another game, but everyone is too tired for the heavy artillery.
