Flee the sinking island — and send sea monsters after everyone else
Who it's for
Families and groups who enjoy direct, lighthearted conflict. A perfect gateway into take-that games that plays in under an hour.
Not for you if…
Skip if you can't handle being targeted or prefer cooperative play. The take-that element can sting in sensitive groups.
Vibe's take
Chaotic, gleeful, vindictive, accessible
Classic family game of escaping a sinking island. Move your explorers to safety by boat while sending sea monsters, sharks, and whales after your opponents. The island tiles sink progressively, forcing everyone toward the edges in a gleeful scramble.
