About this board game

Nuns on the Run (Second Edition) is a family game for 2–8 players that plays in about 30 minutes. In the dead of night, novice players sneak through a convent to fulfill their secret wishes, while other players take the roles of strict nuns trying to catch them.

Every choice matters as the novices search and hide. Moving quickly can help you reach your goal sooner, but the faster you run, the more noise you make. Will you risk making more noise to gain time, or choose a quieter approach to remain undetected?

The nuns must stay alert as they search for the escaped novices. Their opponents are not simply racing to the finish: they are attempting to outsmart the nuns and make their wishes come true before the end of the night.

  • Play as a nun and try to catch the novices.
  • Play as a novice and attempt to avoid capture.
  • Balance speed and silence while moving through the convent.
  • Complete your secret wish before the night ends.

If an alert nun catches a novice, that novice is sent back to their room without mercy, and the search starts all over again. This creates a tense contest between careful movement and determined pursuit, with smart choices shaping every attempt to escape.

Whether you enjoy tracking hidden opponents or slipping past an observant pursuer, Nuns on the Run offers a playful challenge for the whole family. Are you sly and silent enough to win, or can you catch the novices before they fulfill their wishes?
