Description:

Forbidden Island is a cooperative board game where players are on an slowly sinking island constructed by tiles.

The players are searching for hidden treasures around a mysterious island. They all win if they find all the hidden treasures and an get to the helicopter to fly away.

As the game progresses, more island tiles will sink and this will increase the pace because as the ware level rises, it will get more hard to survive.

There are 6 different roles: explorer, diver, engineer, messenger, navigator and pilot and each role has different abilities. During the turns, a player can do several actions like moving, shoring up, giving a treasure card or collecting a treasure, helicopter lift, etc...

Will your team be the first to breach its borders, capture the treasures, and make it out alive?
