Panic Zones: Arctic Edition

A fast-paced survival card game for 3–6 players (ages 10+), with rounds lasting about 15 minutes. It was created by four Lebanese friends — Patrick Saber, Anthony Attieh, Edmond Rizk, and Ryan Chedrawi — and launched in December 2025, first in Lebanon and the UAE.

You're stranded in the Arctic, and the goal is either to be the first player rescued or to outlast everyone else as the last one standing. As the tagline on the box puts it, it's a game "so cold it'll freeze your friendships."

Players start with basic Resource Cards (Fish, Wood, Flint), a Shelter Card, and 2 Advantage Cards. On each turn, you can play or purchase Advantage Cards, then draw from the Discovery Deck, which mixes Resources, Obstacles, and Panic events to create a push-pull rhythm of preparing and getting disrupted. The box for this Arctic Edition includes 100+ cards.

The real danger isn't the blizzard — it's the person sitting next to you — expect betrayal, sabotage, and shifting alliances as much as resource management.
