Flood by Andy Elliott

Board coming later.

 

Original Rules

 

Players are racing to reach the last remaining seat on a boat to escape their rapidly flooding city.  If the flood water touches a player, their game is over.

 

Story

There has been a tsunami off the coast, 5 miles away from your city.  You and the other players were unaware of the incident and warnings, and now face a race to reach the last seat on the only remaining escape boat as the flood approaches through the city.

 

Gameplay

Each player moves on a single dice roll along a set path along city roads toward the escape boat.  Players are able to hinder each other by reaching certain path points first, thereby causing an event to happen - for example the first person to reach the park area can close the gates to force the others to take the long way round.

 

Flood Water

The flood water moves on a double dice roll once per turn but is hindered by the city topography (see game board).

 

Winning

The first person to reach the boat, or be the last man standing, wins.
