Survival by Boat

Why We Picked Survival by Boat

An ocean, a boat, and islands to find: the description promises resources, monsters, and a story you assemble yourself as the voyage goes on. No controls are listed, and the publisher's text says nothing about how the boat moves or what a fight actually involves. With 765 plays it sits 142nd of 183 in Adventure, which makes it one of the thinner pages in the category.

How to Play

Three things decide whether a run here goes well:

• Begin with the boat on open water, since the description offers no other starting point.
• Collect the resources you find and fight the monsters you meet, because survival is the stated aim.
• Treat each island as a checkpoint, and sail on only after you have what you came for.

Editor’s Note

The publisher's blurb is four sentences and leans on adjectives, which leaves the actual loop unclear. Worth a brief try, not a long visit, given how little is documented. For reference: 142 of 183 on the adventure shelf, 4.3 out of 5 from 23 ratings, and 765 plays.
