Quicksand

Explorers race through a swamp from START back to camp, navigating mudslides, swinging vines, handholds, and safe rocks. Quicksand pits make adventurers sink piece by piece, while an alligator and a special die can send them backward. Each explorer begins partially submerged and moves according to their remaining height, with an optional movement die adding extra spaces. Players remove their adventurer’s pieces as they sink, but no one can disappear completely: the pith helmet always remains. The first explorer to reach camp wins.
