Survive The Island: BFF is an expansion for Survive The Island released in 2024 for 2–5 players. It was designed by Julian Courtland-Smith and its main mechanics are Action Points.
Sometimes, it takes two to survive. Strong bonds have been formed between two adventurers, having faced many challenges on the Island, and they have become inseparable! They have sworn they will get through this together! Mini expansion of 2 extra meeples in each color, with a "heart shaped" symbol on the bottom. Replace your Adventurers with a value of 1 by the two BFF meeples of your color. The game is played the same way as usual. At the end of the game, check your meeples on the Rescue Islands. If you have saved both BFFs in the same color, score 12 points! If, however, you have saved only one (or none), score 0 points. The rest of your saved Adventurers score normally.
