BOARD ROYALE is a turn-based survival card game for 2 to 6 players. To survive, you will have to be sneaky and a ruthless backstabber. BEWARE: Board Royale can be a friendship breaker! The goal of the game is to survive by any means necessary. If a player runs out of resources, they are instantly eliminated from the game! The last man standing on the island or the first to escape by collecting 10 escape points, wins the game. This is not an easy task! Each round is one day on the island, during which you must gather resources and spend them to craft items with various abilities in order to attack your opponents and ensure your survival. —description from the publisher
