  1. 6 out of 10

    Survive! is a fun game from the 80s that still holds up if you adjust your expectations a bit. Atlantis is sinking, and you all have villagers you need to get to safety at the four 'safe islands' in the corners of the map. Your villagers all have numbers printed on their bottoms which are the points you'll score should you get them to safety. Just one catch -- after you place your people for the first time, you cannot peek to see what they're worth! Meanwhile, sea monsters (serpents, whales, and sharks) that everyone can control make it harder for travelers to reach the corners. There actually isn't too much randomness here at all, but your opponents can certainly be vindictive and I can see how with a certain group the winning score might just be in the single digits. I look forward to playing this one a lot, it's exactly the sort of game I want in my collection: simple rules encouraging structured interaction between players is often a good time in my book. That said, some of the movement rules are just a tad fiddly (we got a couple wrong), and the game is best when it doesn't drag. I rate Survive! a [BGCOLOR=#9999FF] [b]6.0[/b] [/BGCOLOR] for now. I could really see it being brutal and over-long, and with the wrong group I'm certain it would be miserable. However, there's some really good sparks here and I think that rating could grow over time.

    You really need to be ready to forgive your friends and family with this one - ESPECIALLY if you play with the expansion.

    Apesar de ser sádico e potencialmente deixar as pessoas irritadas é divertido demais ficar controlando os monstros marinhos. Um dos melhores jogos para grupos competitivos que eu já joguei.

Survive is a cutthroat game where players seek to evacuate their pieces from an island that is breaking up, while remembering where their highest-valued pieces are located to maximize their score.

An island made up of 40 hex-tiles is slowly sinking into the ocean (as the tiles are removed from the board). Each player controls ten people (valued from 1 to 6) that they try and move towards the safety of the surrounding islands before the main island finally blows up. Players can either swim or use boats to travel but must avoid sea serpents, whales and sharks on their way to safety.

Survive is very similar to Escape from Atlantis with some key differences.

Survive was reprinted as "Survive: Escape from Atlantis!" by publisher Stronghold Games and hit store shelves in February, 2011. The reprint contains the game Survive, as well as all the extra pieces needed in order to play the game as "Escape from Atlantis" and is actually found here: Survive: Escape from Atlantis! because it came with the dolphins and dive dice which were removed from the anniversary edition which was released a couple of years later (though they were later made available by themselves for owner’s of that version).

"Survive: Escape from Atlantis!" is game #2 in the Stronghold Games "Survive Line".
