Escape from Zyzzlvaria

Escape from Zyzzlvaria is a board game whose existence was first announced at the 2002 MIT Mystery Hunt in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and then debuted seven years later at ZyzzlCon during the 2009 MIT Mystery Hunt. Only 75 production copies were printed.

The game features a board, 12 polyhedral dice, a deck of 16 cards, 8 pawns, 8 escape pods, 370 dollar bucks, a Moon Counter, and a Wheel of Death. The object of the game is to get as many members of the crew of the Brass Rat out of Zyzzlvaria before the moon counter reaches Eclipse!

The game's primary designer is Foggy Brume, based on concepts from a puzzle by Dan Katz.
