Honestly send it back and seek out an older version. This version really is poor and not worth the gist even at the slightly lower price point. Most people would rather pay the extra for the quality of the previous version
Hi Steven, Thank you for your great review. Thought folk would like to know Survive The Island was launched in USA at GENCON beginning of August '24. It's currently on sale in the USA at Target stores. The worldwide launch of the game is at SPEIL, Essen, Germany in October '24 in multiple languages. See BGG for details and How To Play video by Asmodee. Enjoy everyone and thank you for supporting my game for over 40 years! 😊
Agree to disagree. They also lowered the price to make it an even more family-friendly price point. It’s one of the best games at the price now for a family. And it’s beautiful. And it’s just a great game. And if you really want the Dolphins, it’s quite easy to proxy them into the game.
Yeah the poster is biased this version of the game is cheaper in every respect and has been done clearly to make more profit. Just because it currently comes in at a slightly cheaper price point doesn’t take away from the fact is visible cheaper regards production value and quality and has also loss important game elements. Avoid
@@kismo6167 The “poster” is giving you the news of a game release, and the “poster” was not doing a review, and the “poster” sat with a representative of the company and is not going to insult the person. You might want to go look for a REVIEW if you want a REVIEW of the game.
@@PodfatherGaming and I am airing a view that I feel is more then valid and your not wanting to offend someone who works for the company has zero relevance to me. I am airing a view to potential customers so they don’t make the mistake of buying this new inferior version of the game thinking it’s exactly the same under a new coat of paint. Be less sensitive buttercup
@@Greggiexplore Wow… obviously the childishness and wanting to be right all the time runs deep within you. The game is beautiful (artwork, screen printed monsters, etc). I did not review the game for it’s “production quality”, as I literally was there with this new employee of Asmodee for under 5 minutes, and was not going to insult her by nit-picking the production quality of a $30 game, as you are doing. You are not only childish, but you don’t know what you’re talking about, Mr. “I have 20 years experience in gaming and a large collection”. Sir, if you knew anything about the industry, you’d know WHO I AM. I have almost 20 years experience in PUBLISHING board games, and THOUSANDS of games in my collection. Grow up, be more polite to people, and stop acting like an obnoxious child. Oh, and congratulations! You are now the first person to be blocked from commenting in my channel. Good riddance….
It's been published a couple times over the decades but the most recent edition I know of was called "Survive!: Escape from Atlantis" and was published by Stronghold Games. A fantastic game and always glad to see it in print.
It was called when first released by Parker Brothers in 1982 “Survive!”. Later in that decade there was an edition called “Escape From Atlantis!” from Waddingtons. Finally, there was my Stronghold Games Edition, “Survive: Escape From Atlantis!”, which paid homage to both versions. Now, from Asmodee… “Survive: The Island”
Great. Just purchased this and now I’m seeing all of the negative comments concerning the production quality. Might have to send it back.
I would look at it myself before making a judgement. Or at least see what others are saying, likely on BoardGameGeek.com. YMMV….

Thanks for the extra info, Julian! And thanks for watching!
Loved the original! :-)
Yeah, fantastic (MEAN!) game!
They have taken away the dolphins from this version to reduce production costs making it an weaker version

I'm interested!
Great game!
When is it coming out?
Very very soon. Within the next months.
It’s out already.
@@tfpp1and there ya go! 🤣
@@tfpp1 Nice, thank you!
Was this game previously released under a different banner?
Yes it's an old classic, but I can't remember the name ATM, could be the same

Yeah… some unknown company called Stronghold Games… :)

@@PodfatherGaming Just some little publisher named Stronghold founded by some guy...I think his name was Sean or Sven or something. ;-)
