News: Boardgame helps prisoners escape

New York Times (June 22, 2009) explains how two reporters used a board game to help their dramatic escape from the Taliban:

"On Friday evening, in a planned bid to keep their captors awake as late as possible to ensure that the men would eventually sleep soundly, Mr. Ludin challenged the militants who slept beside them in the same room to a local board game. When at last the games ended at midnight, the journalists waited for the militants to fall asleep."">
