GOING RETRO: ESCAPE & SURVIVE:

 A LOOK AT A CLASSIC: SURVIVE & ESCAPE FROM ATLANTIS

by Chris Kovac

Escape from Atlantis (Waddingtons, 1986)

Survive!, also known as Escape from Atlantis, is a 2-4 player family orientated light survival game where you are trying to get your tribe of Atlanteans off the central sinking island of Atlantis to safety on the islands at the four corners of the gameboard. This game by Julian Courtland-Smith has a long and storied history with editions by at least four different game publishers: Parker brothers 1982, Waddington-Sanders 1986 (on which this review is based), a Hasbro 1986 version and a 2011 version from Stronghold Games.
