Description

Castaways is a party game that drops you onto a deserted island with up to 17 other players, all vying to be the last one standing. Inspired by the popular reality TV show Survivor, this game combines social deduction, card drafting, and negotiation to create a thrilling experience. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be diving into the action in no time, forming alliances and making deals to get ahead. But don't get too comfortable - the game is full of twists and turns, from Daily Mail and Camp Life cards that throw a wrench into your plans, to Challenges that will test your teamwork and strategy. As the game progresses, the stakes get higher and the alliances start to fray. When your team loses a challenge, you'll head to the Outcast Tribunal, where one of your own will be voted out of the game. But even then, there are ways to turn the tables - Tribunal Twist cards and personal advantages can completely flip the script, keeping you on your toes until the very end. With a playtime of 120 to 150 minutes, Castaways is a wild ride that will keep you guessing and laughing with your friends. Designed by Clint Jurgens and released in 2023, this base game is a must-play for fans of social deduction and party games.
