About this board game

The Fog: Escape from Paradise – Deluxe Edition is a game for 1–6 players that takes about 120 minutes, released in 2024. Players take the role of mystical guardians on an isolated island, working to guide panicked islanders toward their boats as a rapidly approaching, life-threatening fog closes in.

Every turn presents a challenge of coordination and movement. Using point allocation, players run, swap, push, squeeze, cross, and jump their self-drafted islanders along paths toward escape. The goal is to organize those routes effectively and get islanders to safety before the fog reaches the shore.

The island’s escape effort is shaped by several distinct actions:

  • Guide islanders along paths toward their boats.
  • Use point allocation to perform movement and positioning actions.
  • Run, swap, push, squeeze, cross, and jump islanders toward escape.
  • Respond before the fog reaches the shore and the boats depart.

Once the fog reaches the shore, the boats depart and the outcome is scored across several categories. Players can receive or lose points based on the escape, and the player with the most points defeats the fog and wins.

With its isolated-island setting, urgent escape objective, and range of path-guiding actions, The Fog: Escape from Paradise places the survival of the islanders at the center of every turn. Whether played with a single player or a group of up to six, the Deluxe Edition offers a substantial challenge built around coordination, point allocation, and timely movement before the fog arrives.
