Spider Island

BACKSTORY The notorious flagship - Dead Reckoning - has been scuttled in open water by the Royal Navy. A small crew of cut-throat seadogs has washed ashore on the beaches of an uncharted island... OBJECT OF THE GAME The winner is the player that survives the longest. SURVIVING To survive, players compete to collect resources and craft them into items to better protect themselves from the threats of the island. BEWARE OF BITES! As players collect resources and craft items they’re regularly bitten by spiders. PURPLE, GREY, BLACK and BROWN cubes symbolize venomous spider bites. When a player receives “bites” she places them on her player board. During play, too many bites incapacitates players. In the final phase, too many bites kills them. —description from the designer
