About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey board game folks! If you've already thrown yourself into the chaos of Lifeboat, get ready for another dive into the mess with the "Liquid Courage" expansion! This little gem brings 10 brand-new cards to spice up your survival (or your sinking, who knows?). The big star here is Madame Wong, the eighth character arriving to stir up even more trouble, each with her own tricks and unique powers. Besides her, you'll find extra navigation cards to try a safer route (or not!), love and hate cards to create just the right amount of alliances and betrayals, and of course, doses of "liquid courage" that might give you that extra boost when it counts. Remember: to enjoy this expansion, you NEED to have the base game Lifeboat. It's an addition that messes with the team dynamics and individual strategies, keeping the tension high. If you enjoy games with twists, negotiation, and that dash of madness, this expansion is for you. The language dependency is minimal, so don't worry about wasting time translating, just grab it and play!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game Lifeboat to play this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! This expansion adds content to the base game, so it's essential to have it to enjoy the new features.
How many players does this expansion support?
The expansion itself doesn't change the base game's player count, which is 4 to 7. It adds an eighth character, but the core mechanics of the base game for 4-7 players remain.
Does the expansion add much complexity to the game?
Not much. Lifeboat's overall complexity is low, and this expansion adds more cards and a character, keeping the experience accessible and focused on fun and interaction.
Do the new cards significantly change the game's strategy?
They add new options and twists, especially with Madame Wong and the 'liquid courage' cards, which can alter the dynamics and create unexpected moments, but without making the game overly complex.
Is there a lot of text on the cards? Is it hard to play in another language?
The language dependency is considered low. The text on the cards is minimal and easy to memorize or understand quickly, making it easy to play even if not everyone speaks the same language.
Is it worth buying this expansion if I already have the base game?
If you enjoy the chaotic dynamics and social interactions of Lifeboat and want more options and a new character to spice up your games, then yes, it's worth it for an extra flavor.
