It's a fine day at the beach and everyone is out swimming. But the Undertow is pulling you, your family, and friends out to sea! It’s a race to see who can get their family back to the beach safely before they are lost forever…
Undertow - The Beach Game is a quick and fun rainy day game where you roll dice and try to rescue your friends and family before the other players.
During setup players roll a number of dice (determined by how many players) and take turns placing them in the water (the game board) based on the number rolled.
Each turn consists of rolling three turn dice; two for movement and one modifier die. The movement dice determine how many outward and inward moves need to be made by the players swimmers. The modifier die changes these moves including bonuses like "The Big Wave" that allows more inward movement, and "Undertow!" where all movement needs to be outward.
The game ends when any player has moved all their swimmers to the safety of The Beach.
