Games Over Board
Survive: Escape from Atlantis
•
This week we review one of our favorite games, Survive: Escape from Atlantis (also known as Survive the Island in it's newest printing.) This game is SO easy to learn, teach, and play. If you have friends and family who are new to board gaming, this is the game to play! If you have well seasoned players who love games that are very confrontational, this is also the game you want to be playing.
Special thanks to David Gledhill and Slo-Mo for allowing us to use their song "Boy From the City." If you would like to hear what David is up to these days, please follow the link below!

01:10:38|This week we review the beautiful card game, Canvas, from Tycoon Games. In this game, you'll be overlaying three transparent cards to make a painting and scoring points based on the icons at the bottom of the cards. This game is easy to learn, but will leave your brain feeling tired over trying to figure out the best combination of cards to score the highest amount of points possible.
