About the game

What you do in a play session

Drijfzand is a hilarious and chaotic adventure game where you control an explorer trying to cross a jungle full of quicksand. Your character is built with stackable pieces, and each turn you roll two dice: one to move and another to see how many parts of your explorer you lose to the quicksand! Yes, you read that right: your character literally sinks into the game, losing body parts as you progress. The funniest part is that you can still win even if only your explorer's head remains. The game is simple, fast, and perfect for playing with family or friends who don't take games too seriously. The dice-rolling mechanic and 'ladder climbing' progression (where you advance while your character falls apart) ensure matches full of laughter and unexpected moments. Ideal for casual players and kids, as the rules are easy to learn and the theme is super fun.
