Whoever has the highest Tide Level card showing at the end of each hand loses a life preserver. Not good! A serious tide-turning twist to the game comes at this point when players then pick up all of their playing hand, and pass it clockwise. So as each round begins, you are using the cards previously used by your neighbor! The player with the most life preservers at the end of the last round survives the turn of the tide and wins the game!


Contents of Turn the Tide:
60 Weather Cards
24 Tide Level Cards
24 Life Preserver Tokens
1 Score Pad  and  Pencil
