Harriet's Daughter
The Underground Railroad Game
Overview
Welcome to the HARRIET'S DAUGHTER: UNDERGROUND RAILROAD GAME. You and up to four players will be playing on Harriet's team as runaway slaves trying to escape the schoolyard and reach the finish line with enough passes. You'll race through Toronto collecting fragments of a pass until you have enough to make a complete pass. Stopping you are the teams of Slave Hunters and Hunting Dogs which will be roaming the map ready to confiscate your illgotten passes and send you back to the start location. But if you work together trading fragments you can all get enough passes to reach the finish line, or you can turn on them taking the passes you've acquired and finishing the game before the others slow you down.
