Lifeboats
From the Publisher...
In uncharted waters, the ship, Santa Timea, has collided with a reef, and the sailors set off in the old lifeboats for a hair-raising journey to sheltering shores. As the lifeboats move closer to the islands, water rushes in and sailors get thrown overboard. But it's all done democratically and the majority rules - unless you happen to play the Captain’s Hat at the right time to overrule everyone.
In Lifeboats, players use their cards to vote for which boat moves closer to safety, which boat springs a leak and who gets thrown overboard. Negotiation skills are a must and backstabbing will not be uncommon - after all, you will do whatever is necessary to get your sailors to shore... and so will everyone else!
Originally released as Rette Sich Wer Kann.

Mr Waiguoren
| A great game with no luck that relies only on your ability to negotiate and bluff other players. While stabbing your friends in the back (and having your back stabbed at the same time) might not be for everyone, this game is great for those who play for fun and don't mind having all their sailors drowning in a leaky lifeboat. |
Dog
| This is an entirely open information game for 3+ players. Each player chooses locations for his pieces, then it's a voting/negotiation to kick one another off and make it over to the winning islands alive. Very fun, if contentious, game, entirely reliant on people skills and not making people want to flip the table over. |
