## Description

Gamewright | Forbidden Island | Board Game | Ages 10+ | 2-4 Players | 30 Minutes Playing Time : desertcart.co.uk: Outlet

Review: Excellent and thrilling cooperative game for all ages. - I bought this game to play with my 2 children (aged 6 and 8) and I have to say I have not been disappointed. The rules seemed a little complex on first reading, but the included booklet is extremely well written and easy to follow. Once each player has had a few turns the rules become second nature and the concept shines. Even my 6 year old was following along with gusto. The game has a natural variety since the island is constructed differently each time you play and the player roles are random. The best part is the ending. The designers of the game have really nailed the sense of increasing danger and desperate struggle to escape as the island seems to disappear under the waves faster and faster. My kids loved it! The little treasures are also a big hit. The tiles and cards seem well made and the artwork is detailed and evocative. This one will be seeing a lot of action!
Review: Simple rules, quick to play co-op game. - Compared to the majority of the games in our collection, this is a nice simple game; easy to setup, simple rules and quick to play. Neatly presented in quite a small tin, it is good for holidays & doesn’t require much table space. Having said it is a simple game, it is not always easy to win. Thanks to the random tile order, the critical ‘Fools Landing’ tile can turn up in a most inconvenient place and, as we select our player adventurers randomly, some have more useful talents than others. The randomness of the island and artefact cards also ensure that, despite the simple mechanics, no two games are the same. However, with the standard diamond island configuration it is usually a bit too easy to win once one has worked out a winning strategy. It plays at a good pace & the co-op element is strong and despite it being a simple game, we play it quite often for a bit of light relief. I found some alternative island configurations on the internet and all of them are far more challenging than the diamond so the game never gets stale. Rulebook: 10/10 Complexity: 2/10 Component quality: 10/10 Replayability: 8/10 Gameplay pace: 10/10

## Questions & Answers

**Q: We've lost the 'Engineer' (red) card. Can anyone tell me what the engineer card says please? i.e. the skill. Thanks!**
A: The Engineer's ability reads "shore up two tiles for one action", and the shore action is defined as follows: "To shore a tile, simply flip it so its un-flooded side is facing up".

**Q: I enjoy Forbidden Island - is this different enough to be worthwhile?**
A: Definitely worthwhile. Forbidden Desert's mechanisms are sufficiently different to make it not only a different game, but also a more challenging experience.

**Q: I noticed this game has 6 pawns has anyone played it with more than the recommended 4 and is it still playable?**
A: Hi this game has 4 pawns and 4 pieces of treasure you could play in teams with one pawn fir each team and place offensively against the other teams. It's a great game and good fun

**Q: I have a 8 & 3.5 year old. Obviously 3.5 year won’t understand the rules but could she ‘play’ along sufficiently with help she thinks she’s playing?**
A: The game involves 3 complex steps in each turn that depend on the board and other players working together she will definitely need an adult playing with her.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Matt Leacock does it again
