About the game
How far would you go to save yourself? Totally selfish behaviour and utter ruthlessness will be needed to stay alive in this game! Only one castaway can get home on the remaining ration supplies and you must battle against riptides, waves, sharks and most dangerous of all, each other, to win! Full of clever puns, this ruthless strategy card game includes 5 player cards, 1 raft card, 42 action cards, 48 ration cards, 30 ocean cards, a play mat and instructions. —description from the publisher Each cast away starts with a hand of 5 Game Cards which contain a mixture of Ration and Action Cards. On your turn, pick up a card from the Game card pile which is formed of Action cards and rations. Action cards allow you to attack other players by stealing precious Rations, moving them back a space or shielding yourself from other players attacks! You can then use your ration cards to move forward through the dangerous ocean. Each time you move forward you reveal an ocean card which can help or harm you! Get back to the raft first to win, but remember to keep enough Rations or you'll die...
