I bought this with my partner and was excited to play. However when we opened it up and set it all up the orange cards. I emailed the company but no one bothered to get back to me. £35 wasted, really disappointed.

Difficult to find good board games to play especially on a rainy day that appeal to everyone in the family and does not take hours!
Similar in principle to Risk with moving pieces around and trying to block your opponent. Although initially seems complex, reading the rules and reference cards it's very easy. Good as a 2 player or more.
Great fun and good quality pieces.

I played this game with my 13 year old daughter. The board was easy to set up, and the rules are fairly short and simple, which made it quick to get started.
The object of the game is to collect tokens and make it across the board whilst the water rises and you avoid the sea monsters. Try to sabotage the others players efforts to ensure you're the winner!
Having more than 2 players would make this much more of a strategy game, and also likely make it more interesting. Our game took about 30 minutes, but I think this would have been longer if we had had more players (it is for 2-6 people).
My daughter got a hang of the rules fairly quickly and there are useful reminder sheets of the rules for the players to refer to during the game. Whilst this game is well suited to older players, tween / young teen players should be able to get involved quickly with a little help. This is the sort of game that my family enjoys playing together, and would be great to play at Christmas. It got a thumbs up from my daughter (apart from the fact that she lost)!

Beautiful quality game in premium packaging and really lovely graphics. We're a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 teens aged 13 and 15 and as most families of teens will know it can be difficult to agree on suitable activities to please everyone. When this game arrived however the kids couldn't wait to crack it open and have a family games night and it did not disappoint!
Perfect for teens and adults alike it's a game of strategy and survival. Set in LA, it's a fast paced game which tasks each player to scavenge for supplies and actions in order to escape the rising waters of LA whilst avoiding the mysterious monsters lurking beneath the waters of the city streets. The kids loved it, sibling rivalry came into its own sabotaging each other's path of survival, much hilarity and laughter ensued. We played as individuals but you can also play in larger teams, something we'll be trying with family over Christmas. This is the perfect family game, plenty to challenge young minds and just the right amount of competition and rivalry to really entertain. We were all completely engaged (the kids even forgot they owned mobile phones for a while) and needless to say there were some rather heated moments and much laughter throughout. It's a new firm favourite in our house and will be well played over the dark winter months.
The game is suitable for up to 6 players or teams and is nice and easy to set up with very clear and easy to follow instructions. We played according to the instruction set up but it also explains you can make the game easier or harder by adjusting the set up, which I thinks a great idea for different ages but also as we play the game more often keeps things interesting and challenging.
New and engaging board games can be difficult to come by but this is definitely one of the best we've tried, very entertaining and a real challenge. What's more I can't see it getting repetitive as it will take a completely different path each time we play. Highly recommend.

Nice, sturdy, attractive box, board and tiles. I struggled not to rip the player pieces when removing from card surround, due to the notch for the stand - extra care needed there.
Great, clear instructions mean you can start play almost immediately, which is a real plus, and it is easy to vary the level of complexity in game.
Played with two teenagers and we all thoroughly enjoyed it, getting far too competitive and devious with our tactics, but it would be just as good for a less aggressive game. Becoming one of our go-to games, especially since play is possible with just two players
