On December 10th of the year 2031, a commercial flight, with a manifest of more than 300 passengers, departed from Boston. The flight was in route to Puerto Rico. Then a bright flash of white light... Moments later, all of the passengers of Zephyr Air Flight 309 somehow found themselves alive and well on the beach of a strange island surrounded by smoldering debris of their once great aircraft. The survivors picked themselves off the sand and began to search about for sustenance. In a matter of days, the survivors divided into various camps. Four leaders emerged from the masses, each with their own ideas of how to move forward.

Astray is a competitive, turn based, worker placement game of exploration and risk taking. In the game, players compete for resources by placing workers on a modular hexagonal game board. Resources are used to increase player morale, build tools, fire, cisterns, huts, enclosures, two way radios, escape rafts.

There are three ways to win the game.

Build an escape raft, and successfully draw a winning raft card wins. Craft a two way radio, and successfully draw a winning two way radio card. Build four stone huts wins the game.

The game ends when one of the three game winning conditions have been met.
