Calenture: Survival and Deception on the Open Sea

Shipwrecked with strangers in the middle of the ocean, with scarce resources and even scarcer trust in each other. As tension rises and starvation sets in, your companions may be more inclined to throw you overboard to make rations last longer. All while mother nature is doing her best to ensure that no one is returning home. Calenture is a social deduction-game in which you have to gather your collective resources to keep the crew alive. But who can you trust when the food turns up spoiled and nobody seems to know where the gun has gone?

About the game

What is Calenture: Survival and Deception on the Open Sea

More in-depth:

Calenture's playtime is 20-40 minutes and the game includes mechanics such as hidden agendas, resource and card management, random event cards, bluffing and player elimination. Some players will be in it for themselves while others are protectors or saboteurs. You win the game by fulfilling your agenda which most of the time also involves surviving. The game ends when all the players are either dead or rescued. There can be multiple winners or even no winners at all. When the players reach the bottom of the event deck they will get a chance to be rescued, but there will not always be room for all of them.

Players will draw cards from a deck of items. It can be food, weapons and other items that can help or hinder the survival of the group.
