Alongside other participants, you are cast onto a desert island. There is some food provided by the TV crew but it will not last long.

You will be hungry very soon and will have to start picking fruit or catching chickens. You will also need to build a raft, if you are serious about winning the prize. The first person to leave the island will be declared as winner. You will need rope and raft wood, which are hard to find. Well, you could always try to steal from the others, but would you?

HUNGER: The Show is a fast-paced family game with rich player interaction and no downtime, for 2 to 6 players. To win, you have to predict your opponent’s actions. On the island, you can gather fruit and catch chickens to get more food. But to win, you also have to collect raft pieces. It’s a good thing that no one would ever think of stealing food and raft parts from other participants… or not?

Players simultaneously choose their next action and destination on the island, and they need to predict the other players’ actions, staying focused on their goal: finding enough food to survive the next day and building the raft as quickly as possible! Balancing those needs is key to winning the game.
