The 10 Meanest Board Games Ever Created

 7. Survive: Escape From Atlantis

Ah the classic game of sharks and bastards. Survive is a game that sees you playing a bunch of islanders on an island slowly sinking into the sea, trying to board boats and sail to the safety of the surrounding shores. Any islander that makes it to the shore when the game ends will net you the number of points on his bum, hey nice bum islander. Here’s the problem though, every player’s turn, that player gets to choose which island tile disappears into the sea, starting with beach tiles, then forest, then mountain. Any player pieces that are on a tile that gets removed fall into the sea, oops sorry about that. As the game progresses more and more sea creatures will join the survivors in the sea, creatures that players will also get to use to attack their opponents with a roll of this evil creature die. Whales destroy boats, dumping everyone in the drink, sorry about that, sharks eat all player pieces in the same sea space as a shark, permanently removing them from the game, sorry about that, and sea serpents eat boats and people all in one go, not at all sorry about that. It’s a vicious little game of deliberating destroying each other as you flee for your lives, like titanic but everyone’s billy zane.
