About this expansion

Lifeboat Expansion #1: Cannibalism is a 2008 expansion for Lifeboat for 4–7 players, with a playing time of 45 minutes.

This expansion adds 10 new cards to Lifeboat, including a seventh character: Dr. Harter. The set also introduces a few extra first aid kits, along with new love and hate cards.

At the heart of the expansion is the infamous cannibalism card, giving this small addition a distinctive identity within the Lifeboat card set. Together, the new cards extend the contents of the original game while adding another character and several new card types.

  • 10 new cards
  • Dr. Harter, a seventh character
  • A few extra first aid kits
  • Love and hate cards
  • The infamous cannibalism card

Lifeboat Expansion #1: Cannibalism requires Lifeboat to play. It is therefore an expansion rather than a standalone game, intended for players who already have the original title.

With support for 4–7 players and a listed playing time of 45 minutes, this 2008 release provides a compact way to expand the card pool and character options in Lifeboat. Its contents are clearly focused: one additional character, useful first aid kits, relationship-themed cards, and the memorable cannibalism card.
