Forbidden Island is a visually stunning cooperative board game. Instead of winning by competing with other players like most games, everyone has to work together to win the game. Players take turns moving their pawns around the “island”, which is built by laying out many silk-screened tiles before the game begins. As the game progresses, more and more island tiles sink in, become unavailable, and the pace picks up. Players use strategies to prevent the island from collapsing, while trying to collect treasures and items. As the water level rises, it becomes more difficult; sacrifices must be made.
