Escape from Altassar is a 1982 board game published by Task Force Games.

Gameplay

Escape from Alrassar is a science fiction game set on the planet Altassar, where the aggressive alien Spikus have established a penal colony to house some of the prisoners they have taken in their 300-year war with the Galacta Confederation.[1]

Reception

Tony Watson reviewed Escape from Altassar in The Space Gamer No. 61.[1] Watson commented that "I can't recommend Escape from Altassar. Although it has some interesting chrome, there's nothing solid to hand it on. What begins as a nice premise degenerates into a turkey shoot. Task Force Games has done better in the past, and gamers have a right to expect something a bit more polished and refined."[1]
