Chess & Strategy Game Association / First Minnesota Wargame Society
Short Description:
There's been a boating accident, and a rag-tag group of six lifeboats is trying to make its way to one of several islands just over the horizon.
Long Description:
Which boat will move? Who will be fed to the sharks? Negotiate your way toward land! Everybody for themselves. Democratic death, pure and simple. Only one boat will make any forward progress in a given turn, so players try to convince everyone to vote for his particular favorite. To further complicate matters, the sailors can't seem to decide which boat they want to be in, so they're constantly jumping out of boats to swim to another one. As if all that wasn't enough, one of the boats springs a leak each turn. If the boat is at maximum occupancy when the leak occurs, then players vote to decide who to toss to the sharks!
