Survive is a cutthroat game where players seek to evacuate their pieces from an island that is breaking up, while remembering where their highest-valued pieces are located to maximize their score. An island made up of 40 hex-tiles is slowly sinking into the ocean (as the tiles are removed from the board). Each player controls ten people (valued from 1 to 6) that they try and move towards the safety of the surrounding islands before the main island finally blows up. Players can either swim or use boats to travel but must avoid sea serpents, whales and sharks on their way to safety. Survive is very similar to Escape from Atlantis with some key differences. Survive was reprinted as "Survive: Escape from Atlantis!" by publisher Stronghold Games and hit store shelves in February, 2011. The reprint contains the game Survive, as well as all the extra pieces needed in order to play the game as "Escape from Atlantis" and is actually found here: Survive: Escape from Atlantis! because it came with the dolphins and dive dice which were removed from the anniversary edition which was released a couple of years later (though they were later made available by themselves for owners of that version). "Survive: Escape from Atlantis!" is game #2 in the Stronghold Games "Survive Line".

Survive: Dolphins & Squids & 5-6 Players...Oh My! is a collection of three mini-expansions for Survive: Escape from Atlantis! that were previously available separately. These mini-expansions can be used individually or in combination with the base game. These expansions are: Dolphins and Dive Dice: The dice add chaos to the game with the ocean creatures now moving faster, but players can use dolphins to ward them off and help their people survive. The Giant Squid: This beast can attack explorers on land or in boats. 5-6 Players: Now up to six players can compete for space in the lifeboats as they flee the island.

DangerMouse rated: N/A/10

Quite a lot of lighthearted fun. The bits for Atlantis/Escape from Atlantis are SO much better though.
