Race a living fog across a hex island, herding drafted islanders toward the last boats out.
Who it's for
Puzzle-minded players who enjoy tight movement optimization and a mounting sense of urgency as the game's central threat physically advances toward you.
Not for you if…
If you dislike fiddly point-allocation movement or want a purely cooperative experience without competitive end-scoring, the drafting and scoring categories add a layer of friction some groups won't want.
Vibe's take
Frantic and puzzly at once — every movement point is precious, and figuring out the exact sequence of pushes and jumps to save one more islander before the fog closes in creates real last-second tension.
The Fog: Escape from Paradise casts you as mystical guardians racing to herd panicked islanders to their boats before a living, encroaching fog swallows the island whole. Each turn you spend movement points to run, push, swap, squeeze, and jump islanders across the hex grid toward escape, drafting who you control as the fog closes in. When the last boats depart, points are tallied across several categories to crown whoever outmaneuvered the fog best.
