About the game
What you do in a play session
First, we have the Dolphins and Dive Dice. If you thought the sea creatures were already fast, get ready: the new die brings more unpredictability to the monsters' movement. But don't worry, the dolphins arrive to save the day, acting as allies that can ward off the beasts and give your people an extra chance to survive. It adds a layer of strategy where you try to anticipate danger while using the local wildlife to your advantage.
Then, things get truly terrifying with the arrival of the Giant Squid. Unlike other monsters, this beast isn't satisfied with just those in the water; it can attack explorers both on boats and on dry land. It's the kind of threat that makes everyone rethink where the safest spot is (spoiler: there is no safe spot here).
Finally, for those who always wanted to bring more friends to the table, the 5-6 Players expansion expands the fray. Now, the fight for space in the lifeboats becomes much tighter. Imagine the chaos of six players trying to push each other out of the boat while the island vanishes beneath the waves. It means more interaction, more betrayal, and, of course, much more laughter.
The best part is that you don't have to use everything at once. You can add just the Giant Squid for a more lethal game, or just the dolphins to change the movement dynamics. You decide exactly how much chaos you want in your session!
