Play it Safe!

No Shared Pieces. No Shared Germs.

Games are fun, but are they safe? With most games, players are touching the same cards or dice or money. SAFE or DEAD: Social Distancing Edition solves that problem by giving each player their own set of components. No shared pieces. No shared germs! Every piece can be sanitized before and/or after play.

FAQ's

Why is the game called Social Distancing Edition?

You can sit six feet apart while playing the game. Each player’s pieces are packaged separately to help prevent the spread of germs, and all pieces can be sanitized.

Is the game only good in a socially distanced environment?

It's a great game for any environment! Being able to play it while social distancing is just an added benefit.

Do players need to sit around a table?

No. The players just need somewhere to set down their board, and they need be able to see the other players’ boards.

How does the game help prevent the spread of germs?

Players don’t share any game pieces, and all the components can be sanitized. Also, players don’t need to sit right next to each other.

The game is for 3 – 6 players. Why are there only 4 player sets in the game box?

So you can save money. Why pay for 6 players if you only need 4? If you need more than 4, you can buy them separately.

Can more than 6 people play?

Yes! You are only limited by the number of player sets you have. With more than six players, the game will be a bit more raucous and will move a bit more slowly.

The box says teen to adult. Can my younger kids play?

Absolutely! Virtually anyone that can count can play the game. We put the teen recommendation on the box because not all children are comfortable with the “dead” aspect of the game.

How do you clean/sanitize the components?

We recommend that you use sanitizing wipes to wipe down all components. Any brand of sanitizing wipes will work. Do not immerse the board in water. Let all components dry completely before putting them back in the resealable plastic bag.

Do I have to use the sanitizing wipes that came with the games?

No. Any sanitizing or anti-bacterial wipes will work.

Is there an instructional video I can watch to learn how to play the game?

A) Not yet. Keep an eye on the website. One will be available soon.

The website says the first 75 games sold will be signed by the creator. What’s that all about?

When this game becomes as popular as Monopoly (I dream big), the signed copies will be worth something! So hold onto it. When the signed copies are gone, they’re gone!

Who is the creator?

I am. Cindy Dorn. I have been playing board games and card games all my life. I have literally hundreds of games in my game closet and I have gotten rid of just as many over the years. I often revise the rules of game to better fit a situation or crowd. I have created and hosted my own game shows and scavenger hunts. Safe or Dead is not the first board game I have created, but it’s the first one that’s being sold. Watch for more of my games in the months and years to come!
