In Survive the Island, players battle against the elements and their opponents. As soon as their adventurers arrive on the island searching for treasure, the ground begins to tremble and age-old volcanoes awaken, sinking the land beneath the waters and giving free rein to terrible creatures. Players will have to cunningly find their way back to dry land, loaded down with as much treasure as possible. Each player commands a team of 10 Adventurers, each carrying varying amounts of treasure. The more treasure they carry, the more points they earn On their turn, players perform three actions. First, they move their Adventurers closer to safety, either by foot or by embarking on rafts. Next, as the waters engulf the island, they select a tile to remove, revealing either a dangerous creature or a powerful special ability that they can save for later. Finally, they activate one of the monsters on the board, using it to protect themselves or seize the chance to betray other players
