SURVIVE! Escape the Island!

Description
An underwater volcano has erupted and an island is sinking into the sea! Unless they can escape in time - all the inhabitants are doomed!

In this game, try to lead your people to safety on any of the four islands nearby. You can get there by boat or by swimming. But it will be a treacherous journey! Who ever has the most points at the end of rhe game wins!

This is a simple port of my old Hasbro boardgame. I made all the pieces in silo3d.
The rules can be found at: http://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/Survive!.PDF

Tips for using Tabletop Simulator with Survive!:

1. If your having problems with shifting tiles, Right click them and select Lock when you first place them Unlock them the same way when drawing one. The Host can give everyone permission to lock and unlock if they wish. This keeps them from shifting due to physics or getting bumped out of alignment accidentally. (Not much of an issue with the new shrunken tiles after last update, cut still handy to know.)
2. The boats have the "Sticky" property so when you grab the boat the meeples placed over it will also be moved! If a boat isn't behaving this way then right click it and turn on Sticky behavior (and let me know)!
3. The host can resize any piece by highlighting and hitting +/- if they find them too large/small (ie the die being too small or Meeples being too big).

I checked the mod, unsubscribed and subbed and it still contains all the working assets that display correctly. Is it missing all assets for you or just some or just textures.. ?

Also, when playing 2 player games we have found it to play much better by using the following house rules:
1. Each player gets 2 colors and scrambles them without looking at bottoms.
2. Place 2 at a time back and forth until all placed
3. On each players turn the draw 2 sand or 2 grass instead of 1
4. When only stone is left you revert to drawing 1 tile

This methods makes games run much faster and they are much more intense. You also have more fun since you don't really know if that boat ate by a sea serpent was a 6,6,5 or 1,1,1...

This multi tile draw works well with standard one color each too.

Welcome Jockopablo! Never too late for a game this old. :)
It is simple to randomize the tiles.
Step 1: Remove the sea serpent from the middle water spot
Step 2: Select "Zones" from left side tools
Step 3: Select "Randomize zone" tool and then draw square over island pieces
Step 4: Choose Randomize...

This will completely randomize all the island pieces and the original setup with stone in middle will be replaced by true randomness.. when we play we don't mind since it gives the poor land locked nessy a chance to escape earlier before being blown to smitterines or whirpooled up. As long as you follow the sand first, then grass, then stone removal order it plays fine. I made the island tiles slightly smaller that normal so you can also easily rearrange them if you like as well.

I'm very late to the party, but thanks for this. It was one of my favorite board games as a kid. Is there any way to quickly randomize or rep-place the island tiles for each new game?

I have no plans to mod this any further. It is just a port of the original Survive!
That said, you can easily make a 5th set of meeples by copying a color and right clicking them one by one and choosing tint with any color. This will make the meeple black and the underside number the choosen color (yeah.. but black is a color). You could also copy a color set and clone an object (like a hat) and sticky it to a set making an obvious different set though colored same as other... As for rules, find them and I will at least link to them in my description.

There is a 5-6 player expansion for this. It seems to just add more meeples and modify a few rules slightly (thought I can't find the exact details). Any chance you could copy paste the meeples set and change the base colours?

I have moved all my images for my mods from Dropbox over to Imgur since Dropbox will no longer support hosting files externally after October 2016. It was a pain but it had to be done if these mods were to live on (plus 100s of other post and mods of mine around the internet with linked images).
I have checked them all as best as I can and I do not believe any image links are missing. However, if you come across one after you have unsubscibed and resubscribed to the mod then please let me know what the object is and what mod its from please.

See mods below!

All image link locations have been changed to another host due to dropbox no longer supporting hosting of images after 10/2016. If you see any unlinked textures please let me know!
