Who it's for

Groups who love loud, cutthroat negotiation party games and don't mind eliminating each other's sailors with a smile.

Not for you if…

You dislike take-that conflict, player elimination, or quiet tables. It falls flat with people who won't argue and scheme out loud.

Vibe's take

Loud, chaotic, gloriously nasty negotiation where every turn is a fresh scramble of pleading, threats, and shifting alliances.

About this game

There's been a shipwreck, and six overcrowded lifeboats are limping toward safety. Every turn only one boat inches forward, so you scheme and vote to push your favorite ahead. Sailors keep leaping between boats, one boat springs a leak each turn, and if a full boat floods, everyone votes on who gets fed to the sharks. Pure, gloriously nasty negotiation.
