Don’t Let It Die

About this board game

Don’t Let It Die is a cooperative survival game for 1–4 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes. You lead a group of Neanderthals through a prehistoric struggle to keep a newly discovered fire alive and secure humanity’s future.

Lightning has started a fire near your valley, but its secrets will not be revealed easily. You have 14 days to learn about its mysterious powers and destructive capabilities before a massive flood arrives to drown the valley and extinguish humanity’s chance to become the apex predator.

Your tribe consists of four characters, each taking turns to search for resources, fight dangerous animals, unlock discoveries, and support the fire. Every decision matters as you balance the immediate needs of your starving tribe against the dwindling supply of wood needed to keep the flames alive.

• Gather food and other resources to help your tribe endure.
• Fight deadly prehistoric predators.
• Discover the mysteries and capabilities of fire.
• Construct weapons or tools that can make gathering resources easier.

Designed for a replayable, interactive, and strategic cooperative experience, Don’t Let It Die challenges players to adapt to the ever-changing threats of prehistoric life. Should you hunt and forage, gather wood, or invest in equipment? The group’s ability to work together and respond to these pressures will determine whether the tribe—and the fire—survive.
