Survive the Island (edizione polacca) gioco da tavolo

Gather your family for an unforgettable adventure on a sinking island.

With simple rules and a playing time of 45–60 minutes, it's perfect for game nights with kids aged 8 and up. The game combines strategy, luck, and a dash of friendly sabotage, ensuring no two sessions are ever the same.
