Description

Get ready for a thrilling adventure with Survive The Island, a cutthroat game designed by Julian Courtland-Smith and published in 2024. In this exciting game, 2 to 5 players take on the challenge of evacuating their adventurers from a sinking island, with the goal of maximizing their score by saving their most valuable team members. The island, made up of 40 hex-tiles, is slowly sinking into the ocean as tiles are removed from the board, adding an element of urgency to the game. As players navigate the treacherous waters, they must use their action points wisely to move their adventurers towards the safety of the surrounding islands. With the help of dice rolling and grid movement, players can choose to swim or use rafts to travel, but they'll need to avoid deadly sea creatures like sea serpents, kaiju, and sharks along the way. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, Survive The Island is easy to learn, but difficult to master. The game's modular board and secret unit deployment mechanics add a layer of complexity and excitement, making each playthrough unique. With a playtime of just 45 minutes, Survive The Island is the perfect game for a fun and thrilling evening with friends, and with expansions like Survive The Island: BFF and Survive The Island: Monster Pack available, there's always more adventure to be had.
