About HATCHET
HATCHET is a brand-new board game with its own rules and strategy. The idea for it came directly from the classic 1973 board game OUTDOOR SURVIVAL. That original game was the first of its kind—it started the whole genre of wilderness simulation games.
HATCHET is not an update, a new edition, or a reprint of OUTDOOR SURVIVAL. It is a completely new game built from the ground up. OUTDOOR SURVIVAL is a registered trademark of The Avalon Hill Game Company. We thank them for creating the original, groundbreaking concept that inspired this project. **HATCHET**, is not a revision, a reprint, or a new edition of that original game. It is a standalone product built upon a new foundation. *OUTDOOR SURVIVAL* is a registered trademark of The Avalon Hill Game Company, to whom we extend our profound gratitude and acknowledgment for the original, groundbreaking concept that inspired this project.
The idea for HATCHET is also inspired by survival stories of all kinds—tales about ordinary people who discover amazing strength when they find themselves alone in the unforgiving outdoors. This game is a standalone strategy game and is not officially connected to, endorsed by, or based on the novel Hatchet by Gary Paulsen or any of its related books.
This game is published and sold worldwide by reviVAL publishing group RPG. This company focuses on discovering great, older, or forgotten games and revitalizing them. They take the best elements of classic ideas and blend them with modern game mechanics and high-quality components to make them feel fresh and exciting again.
