#9: Survive! (1982)
Another 80s-era board game with a daunting and surprising title, the Survive! game wasn’t for the faint of heart! Players had to navigate their escape from a sinking ship, saving their explorers from all of the dangers and horrors that lay beyond–shark attacks, backstabbing players, and even sea monsters! This game’s mix of strategy, betrayal, and utter survival made it a more adult-themed game with an intense mood and competitive spirit.
