About the game
Azimuth is a 2-4 player game of tactics where you take the role of survivors stranded on a deserted island, or floating at sea - and all you want is to get safely back home, sit by the fire and tell an amazing story of survival. By cleverly maneuvering your rafts, making the most out of local winds and breezes, while always aiming to your lighthouse (your ray of hope), it is up to you to either be saved or become food for sharks. —description from the publisher
