Description
You’re pirates, and you’re shipwrecked on a cursed island where you get hungrier each night. Your goal is to not starve, and escape the island with the most treasure, all the while creating uneasy alliances and backstabbing your fellow players. Search for resources: treasure, food, wood (for building an escape raft) and weapons (for fighting other players). Negotiate and trade with other players to get the resources you want as the island’s limited supplies dry up. On your turn draw a card from one of three decks that are weighted with particular resources, then pick from actions such as “pilfer a card from another player” or “attack another player”. You must build an escape raft in order to be eligible to win. The game ends when all players have either escaped or are dead. The winner is the player who escaped with the most treasure. The game also features 30 special cards which can turn the tide of the game from their one use abilities. —description from the designer
