Survive: Escape From Atlantis - The Giant Squid Mini-Expansion

Product Review (submitted on October 9, 2015):

This small expansion adds Giant Squid, represented by cute squid meeples. They are tied to wales, in that they move on the wale die face and are summoned by wale tiles, but you get the choice of which creature to move or summon. Squids pull meeples off the shore and out of boats. They can kill wales and vice versa. That makes a nice risk reward for using the squid to clear out a blockade of wales waiting to sink your boats, but if another play rolls the wale face, your friendly squids become a liability as they selectively pull people out of boats. This definitely make the game more cut throat, which we love. Throw in the 6 player expansion with the variant to use all the meeples and you have a gloriously fun bloodbath on your hands.
