A standalone card game for 3–4 players. One round, ten minutes, no friends left.
A survival card game of betrayal, bargains & broken planes
Your plane went down on an uncharted island. The wreck is full of the parts you need to fly out — and the cabin is full of survivors, and not all of them want the rest of you to make it. Scavenge, bargain, and read the table, because the person handing you a propeller might be the one who strands you.
Scavenge the wreck
The island is littered with what's left of the plane — a radio, a wrench, a propeller and more. Eight parts in all, and you need them to get airborne.
But parts are currency as much as salvage. Every piece you hold is leverage — and a target on your back.
Two ways to win
Swipe right to see each role, then scroll down to find out how they win the game.
You want off the island
Find the parts, cut the right deals, and reach the plane before anyone else does and leaves you stranded. There are two ways out.
Escape solo
Break for the plane on your own, holding any 5 of the 8 parts when a Rescue Window opens.
Escape together
Pair with one partner and leave holding 7 of the 8 parts between you — if you still trust them.
You never wanted to leave
You move like a survivor and trade like one — but every deal you make is a quiet trap. You don't want rescue; you want to rule the island.
Wreck the escape
Win if no Survivor gets off the island before the deck runs out — or slip away in a deal yourself.
Trust, then betray
Slip Sabotage cards face down into escape piles, win the table's trust, then break it when it counts.
A glimpse of what washes up
A handful of the cards you'll fight over, deal away, and live to regret.
One round. Ten minutes. No friends left.
GROUNDED is fast and brutal. A full game runs in the time it takes to lose your temper at the people next to you. Here's the shape of it.
Crash & deal
Everyone's a survivor — but secret roles decide who's really trying to get the group out, and who isn't.
Scavenge
Hunt the wreck for the eight parts. Claim them, hide them, or trade them — parts are power.
Bargain & betray
Make deals to pool parts. Every promise is only as good as the survivor making it.
Escape
When the Rescue Window opens, break for the plane — solo with 5 parts, or paired with 7. Win, or get left behind.
