Fifteen minutes. Three to Six players. Escape the Arctic or be the last one standing.

Panic Zones: Arctic Edition is a fast, take-that card game where survival means outwitting your friends before the cold, or they, eliminate you.

There are two ways to win: Collect all 3 different Rescue Cards to escape, or outlast every other player as they get eliminated.

The game is turn-based, played with two decks: Discovery and Advantage Decks.

You end your turn by drawing from the Discovery Deck: it could hand you the card you need to escape or other pleasant surprises, but it could also throw a Polar Bear or other obstacle to eliminate you, or a Panic event stirring chaos for everyone at the table.

Shift the odds to your favor by playing Advantage Cards to steal the card you need from opponents or grab it from the discard pile, weaken or disrupt your opponents, block threats or redirect threats.

With quick turns and a different story every game, rounds end fast and the rematch starts immediately.

A card game so cold, it'll freeze your friendships.
