Survival of the Fittest is a chaotic and backstabbing party game inspired by the classic 'Battle Royale'. You and your friends play as students taken to a deserted island by a sadistic teacher who loves deadly games. The goal? Be the last one standing! Each player gets a unique character and a starting weapon, but don’t get too attached to allies — everyone becomes a target eventually. Each turn, everyone secretly (or not!) chooses a location on the map to explore, where they might find better weapons or heal. The catch? Anyone in the same spot might decide to stab you in the back. With bluffing, negotiation, and hand management mechanics, the game encourages epic betrayals and temporary alliances. As areas close off, confrontations become inevitable. Get ready to yell, laugh, and curse a lot — survival isn’t for the weak!
