The Island

Publie en 1982

Survive is a cutthroat game where players seek to evacuate their pieces from an island that is breaking up, while remembering where their highest-valued pieces are located to maximize their score. An island made up of 40 hex-tiles is slowly sinking into the ocean (as the tiles are removed from the board). Each player controls ten people (valued from 1 to 6) that they try and move towards the safety of the surrounding islands before the main island finally blows up. Players can either swim or use boats to travel but must avoid sea serpents, whales and sharks on their way to safety. Survive is very similar to Escape from Atlantis with some key differences. Survive was reprinted as "Survive: Escape from Atlantis!" by publisher Stronghold Games and hit store shelves in February, 2011. The reprint contains the game Survive, as well as all the extra pieces needed in order to play the game as "Escape from Atlantis". "Survive: Escape from Atlantis!" is game #2 in the Stronghold Games "Survivi Line". Expanded by: Survive!: The Giant Squid Survive: Escape from Atlantis! 5-6 Player Mini Expansion Survive: Escape from Atlantis! Dolphins & Dive Dice Mini Extension
