When players are stranded on a desert island, they are forced to forage for food, water and supplies. To obtain these life-saving items, they must read and answer a story card in each of four categories — Health, Geography, Biology and Mathematics. Cards feature leveled passages and ask players to draw a conclusion from the text. Once a player has answered a card in each category, he or she is rescued and wins the game!
