Who it's for

You like Escape from Atlantis-style chaos and a group that enjoys backstabbing. Easy to teach to teens and adults together.

Not for you if…

You dislike take-that or dice swings. Someone is always going to lose a favorite adventurer in the water.

Vibe's take

Tense, mean and fun. Every turn you weigh saving your valuable people against sinking someone else's, with a lot of dramatic dice and gleeful sabotage.

About this game

A sinking-island game with a nasty streak. Forty hex tiles form an island that slowly disappears under the waves as tiles are removed. Each player controls ten people valued from one to five and tries to get them to the safety of surrounding islands before the volcanoes erupt. You can swim or ride rafts, but sea serpents, kaiju and sharks lurk around. If you know Escape from Atlantis, the idea is the same: save the valuable explorers, sink the other guy's, and keep your own numbers a secret. About 45 minutes, two to five players, ages 8 and up.
