Who it's for

Big, loud groups who enjoy negotiation, hidden agendas and the delicious tension of voting a friend off the island.

Not for you if…

Player elimination or being voted out early bothers you, since this game has no problem cutting you from the action.

About this game

Hellapagos strands your whole group on a desert island with barely enough food and water to go around, and asks you to build a raft before a hurricane finishes the job. Every round the stockpile shrinks a little faster than your patience, and when shortages hit, everyone points fingers, literally, voting on who gets left behind to starve or dehydrate. When the storm finally arrives, if there aren't enough seats on your raft for everyone left, the voting starts all over again. It plays like cooperation with a knife hidden behind its back, since not everyone at the table necessarily wants the whole group to make it out alive. Fast, ruthless, and built for a big, loud crowd.
