Description

In The FOG, you are mystical guardians of an isolated island who must help panicked islanders reach their boats and escape a rapidly approaching, life-threatening FOG.
Doing so will require guiding and coordinating islander paths toward their boats. Each turn, you use point allocation to run, swap, push, squeeze, cross, and jump your self-drafted islanders toward escape ... and survival! When the FOG reaches the shore, the boats depart and each player receives or loses points in several categories. The player with the most points defeats The FOG and wins!
