You awake in an unfamiliar forest, amidst the wreckage of a horrific plane crash. Your goal is simple: collaborate with those around you to survive until you are rescued.
Components
- 103 Forage cards
- 41 Night cards
- 20 Madness cards
- 20 Craft & Guides cards
- 9 Wreckage cards
- 1Fire Token
- 36 Heart Tokens
Setup
Separate the cards into their respective decks and shuffle them. Place the Forage and Madness decks face down in the middle of the group.
Deal 1 Wreckage and 1 Crafting Guide card to each player face up, then set the rest aside. Craft cards can be left in the box until needed.
Choose the number of Nights your group will attempt to survive, and place that number of Night cards face down in a pile, in the center of the group. Find and shuffle "The Rescue" card (it's disguised as a Night card) into the last 3 Night cards on the bottom.
Difficulty is controlled by the number of Night cards you decide to play with; follow the recommendations below as a guide:
- Beginner: 8
- Normal: 12
- Difficult: 16+
Place the Fire token in the center of the group, face down (this means the Fire is out). Give each player 6 Heart tokens.
Players should place 3 tokens heart side up in front of them, then take their remaining 3 Heart tokens, shake them like dice, and cast them onto the table. This roll determines each player's starting health after the crash. A player's tokens should be placed visibly in front of them at all times.
