Pros
- cool concept of island sinking and rafts
Cons
- too rigid and mean-spirited for some tastes
- not my style; harsh to opponents with pointed mechanisms
Thematic elements
- survival and escape under pressure
- island with rafts and boats; sinking tiles as the island shrinks
- puzzle-like, with a gritty, combative edge
Comparison games
none
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- island tiles sinking each round — terrain changes shrink the playable area and threaten pieces
- monsters and predators — monsters pop up to remove pieces; pieces have different point values
- rigid movement system — movement is formulaic and not highly creative
