Description

In Lifeboats: Plank of Carneades, the difference between sinking, swimming, and safely making it to an island is just a vote away. This thrilling game is all about negotiation, bluffing, and making tough decisions to save your sailors. Designed by Ronald Wettering and released in 2024, this game is perfect for a group of 3 to 7 players looking for a fun and interactive experience that lasts around 45 minutes. The gameplay is easy to learn, but mastering the art of voting and betrayal is a whole different story. Each player has a set of cards that they use to influence the outcome of the game, including voting on which ship springs a leak, which ship moves forward, and who gets thrown overboard to the sharks. The twist is that each player has a unique set of cards, including captain cards that can be used to sway the vote or keep a ship from sinking. But be careful, because if multiple players use their captain cards, they cancel each other out. The game is full of surprises, and you'll need to think strategically to outmaneuver your opponents and save your crew. As the game progresses, the stakes get higher and the ships start to move faster. Players must scramble to find better chances for survival, jumping from one ship to another in a desperate bid to stay alive. With its unique blend of cooperation and betrayal, Lifeboats: Plank of Carneades is the perfect game for anyone who loves pirates, negotiation, and a little bit of cunning. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a fun night with friends, this game is sure to deliver. So gather your crew, set sail, and get ready for a wild ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
