About the game
The Sea Creatures around the sinking island of Atlantis have always been dangerous… but now these behemoths can move faster and dive across the seas to attack Swimmers and Boats! However, friendly Dolphins now can be found in these waters as well! The Dolphins are there to protect your Swimmers, but will they be enough to keep you safe as you try to Survive! “Survive: Dolphins and Dive Dice“ mini-expansion is compatible with “Survive: The Giant Squid” and “Survive: 5-6 Player” mini-expansions, each sold separately. NOTE: The red Creature Die is not used with this mini-expansion, but rather is a small gift to those who preferred the engraved red Die from the original blue box edition. Enjoy! NOTE: You must have the base game Survive: Escape from Atlantis! to enjoy this expansion.
