Survival of the Fittest

This Christmas was spent creating new traditions since Dad was called into work Christmas afternoon.  The rest of us found ourselves entertaining inside while it was pouring and stormy outside.  The boys hurried to the stash of board games in the closet and came out with the Worse Case Scenario Game. 

Would you survive?  Try and visualize each of the options.  (Answers in the comments.)
