Get ready for a breathtaking adventure in Survive The Island, the spiritual successor to the classic Survive: Escape from Atlantis! In this highly competitive game, your goal is to rescue as many adventurers as possible from a sinking island, ensuring that the most valuable ones reach safety. The board is made up of forty hexagonal tiles that gradually disappear, simulating the island's collapse into the ocean. Each player controls ten characters, with values ranging from 1 to 5, and must strategically move them towards neighboring islands before the main island's volcanoes erupt. You can choose to swim or use rafts to escape, but beware! The waters are teeming with dangers such as sea serpents, giant kaiju, and hungry sharks, all ready to thwart your escape plans. In addition to the monsters, you'll also have to deal with other players, who are focused only on their own survival and will not hesitate to use 'take that' tactics to secure victory. This edition of Survive The Island comes with updated components, a brand new monster, and the possibility of playing with up to 5 people, making the experience even more chaotic and fun. It's a game where memory, action planning, and a bit of luck in dice rolling are essential to escape unscathed!
