Overview
What ABG knows about this game
Race to the Raft is a co-operative, path building, tile placement, social puzzle board game for 1-4 players. In the game, you play the role of the disorientated island cats who are lost on the smoke-filled island. Nothing seems to be where it once was, and you must find a safe route to the raft by placing pathway cards. As you build pathways, fire — which is represented by different shaped tiles — will spread across the island, limiting your options. You need to find the balance between creating long pathways and keeping the cats ahead of the flames as you move towards the raft. The game includes 81 scenarios from which to choose, including a simple tutorial that gradually introduces you to new rules and an advanced tutorial for when you're ready for a far greater challenge. Choose cards, build pathways, and control the spread of the fire as you work together to guide all the cats in their race to the raft! —description from the publisher
