About this board game

Panic Island! is a cooperative game for 1–8 players that challenges clan chiefs to save as many Cro-Magnons, Dodos, and eggs as possible in just two minutes.

You are on Gouga Island, where Cro-Magnons live in harmony with the famous Dodos. Then, one morning, the volcano erupts, turning a peaceful island into an urgent race to escape.

Everyone must work together before the volcano destroys the island. The goal is to rescue as many of the island’s inhabitants and eggs as possible, while also remembering two crucial items: the raft and its oar.

  • Cooperative play for 1–8 players
  • A two-minute challenge
  • Save Cro-Magnons, Dodos, and eggs
  • Remember the raft and its oar

Panic Island! focuses its experience around a clear shared objective and a strict time limit. With the volcano threatening Gouga Island, every moment matters as players try to preserve as much of the community as they can before the escape becomes impossible.

Released in 2017, this compact cooperative game places players in the role of leaders responsible for their clan’s survival. Whether you play with a single player or a group of up to eight, the central challenge remains the same: flee the erupting island and save as many Cro-Magnons, Dodos, and eggs as possible.
