Survive: Space Attack! is a reimagining of the best-selling game, Survive: Escape From Atlantis! The redesign of this classic game has been done by Brian, Sydney, and Geoff Engelstein, who have previously designed Space Cadets and Space Cadets: Dice Duel, plus expansions for each of these games, for Stronghold Games.
In Survive: Space Attack!, players are escaping from a space station as it comes under attack by aliens. While Survive: Space Attack! utilizes similar base mechanics to the original Survive! game designed by Julian Courtland-Smith, additional features of the new game include:
- Double-sided Game Board: enables a variety of starting setups each with its own challenges.
- New Fighter Ships: gives players the ability to capture and redeploy alien creatures.
- Laser Turrets: a new weapon system to defend the space station against the aliens.
- New Tile Abilities: new powers that are combinable, plus four different tile thicknesses for a 3-D look.
- New Alien Creature Powers: alien creatures may evolve to become even more powerful.
Survive: Dolphins & Squids & 5-6 Players…Oh My! is an expansion for the original game Survive: Escape From Atlantis!. This expansion contains the components and gameplay modules that have been available previously in three separate mini-expansions. Each of these modules can be added separately into the play of the original Survive: Escape From Atlantis! or they can all be combined into one big game:
- Dolphins & Dive Dice: adds the chaos of ‘Dive Dice’, but also the helpful Dolphins to ward off creatures.
- The Giant Squid: adds the Giant Squid creature, which can attack the Explorers on land or in boats.
- 5-6 Players: enables players to enjoy the original game with up to 6 players.
