You’ll need the game box. Marquoir sums up the rules and keeps score.
Setup
- Build the weather deck, which shows each turn how much water can be collected; the hurricane is slipped towards the bottom of the deck.
- Deal wreckage cards to the players, who keep them secret in hand.
How to play
- Reveal the turn's weather card.
- In turn, each player takes one action: fish, collect water, gather wood or search the wreckage.
- Gathering wood yields at least one log; you can try to take more, at the risk of being bitten by a snake.
- At the end of the turn, each survivor must consume one water ration and one food ration.
- If there is not enough for everyone, the players vote on who will be sacrificed, until the supplies are enough.
- The castaways can leave the island as soon as the raft has one place per departing player and there is enough left to feed them and give them water.
Scoring
- No points: only the castaways who board the raft count.
End of the game
- If the raft leaves with survivors, they are the winners.
- If the hurricane arrives before departure, everyone has lost.
