Whether you're training for the SHTF, prepping for a new world order, or just looking to pass the time, there are several survival board games available for you to choose from. Some of these games are for 2 to 6 players, while younger children can even play them with a little assistance from a parent or other adult. When choosing a game for your family, be sure to choose one that doesn't require batteries. These games are great for training practice before the SHTF, and also make for great entertainment in your prepping tribe.

Forbidden Desert

If you're looking for a fun board game to spend your spare time with, the Forbidden Desert is a good choice.

One skill that should always be used is that of the Water Carrier. You'll need to collect water and share it with others, as without water, life is very difficult and the Forbidden Desert can be deadly.
