Survivor: The Tribe Has Spoken is meant to replicate the fun, drama, and excitement of the long-lived television reality show without you needing to sleep in the jungle or eat bugs.

To survive, players must collect advantages, find hidden immunity idols, form secret alliances, and face devastating blindsides, while surviving Tribal Council eliminations, in which players decide who should be voted out by using the game box as a "voting urn" in which players secretly cast votes. Cards let you look at opponents' hands, steal cards, manipulate votes, declare yourself tribal council leader, protect you from elimination, and more.

The last two players standing must make a case to all eliminated players as to why they deserve the title of "Sole Survivor".

The game includes player cards featuring memorable contestants from the 47 seasons of Survivor that have aired as of 2024.
