The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Game (2001)

About this game

Publisher's Description: Do you know how to escape from the trunk of a car? How to survive a shark attack? How to evade a forest fire? How to jump from a bridge? The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Game challenges players to use their survival instincts and skills to outlast their opponents. Each question has three possible answers: if you get it right you move ahead, if you get it wrong your opponent moves ahead, leaving you to face the peril at hand. The situations presented range from the hair-raising (how to cross a piranha-infested river) to the humorous (how to scratch an itch in a cast), providing fun on many levels == and you’ll learn a lot of interesting information along the way. Great preparation for the great outdoors -- or a great party. Contents: Game board, 4 playing pieces 300 Worst-Case Scenario cards 1 die. For 2 or more players, teen-aged or adult.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 10.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
