Forbidden Island | HOW TO PLAY

Forbidden Island is a visually stunning cooperative board game. Instead of winning by competing with other players like most games, everyone must work together to win the game. Players take turns moving their pawns around the 'island', which is built by arranging the many beautifully screen-printed tiles before play begins. As the game progresses, more and more island tiles sink, becoming unavailable, and the pace increases. Players use strategies to keep the island from sinking, while trying to collect treasures and items. As the water level rises, it gets more difficult- sacrifices must be made.

What causes this game to truly stand out among co-op and competitive games alike is the extreme detail that has been paid to the physical components of the game. It comes in a sturdy and organized tin of good shelf storage size. The plastic treasure pieces and wooden pawns are well crafted and they fit just right into the box. The cards are durable, well printed, and easy to understand. The island tiles are the real gem: they are screen-printed with vibrant colors, each with a unique and pleasing image.

With multiple levels of difficulty, different characters to choose from (each with a special ability of their own), many optional island formats and game variations available, Forbidden Island has huge replay value. The game can be played by as few as two players and up to four (though it can accommodate five). More players translates into a faster and more difficult game, though the extra help can make all the difference. This is a fun game, tricky for players of almost any age. Selling for under twenty dollars, oddly, Forbidden Island is a rare game of both quality and affordable price.

Thank you! What I missed in the beginning of the video was that we play as a team, not against each other. Knowing that makes it much easier to understand.

What a great explanation. Haven’t played this in years and had completely forgotten. You’re explanation was precise and easy to understand, and my dad and I picked it up real quick and we won on our first try.

Had never discovered this channel until now. Will definitely be back! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for putting this together for us Danny. Really easy to understand. Game sounds like a lot of fun. Sort of like Pandemic-lite.

Can you trade with someone who already has the max number of cards? Are you allowed to discard cards you think you don’t need, or do you have to exceed 5 cards then make the choice?

[mr.dggames]

Do you put the sink card under or on the deck after it starts to sink a tile?

[englishclubandcampschateau]

I need a game like that... for 10 players... Any idea?

[harrytrueman]

I ordered this when someone told me the concept of co op board games. This seemed kid friendly

[zachswildlife]

So if your playing just 2 player are u a team or who wins?

[midorrrii]

You say that someone can do 3 moves but the game rules say you can do UP to three moves (0, 1 or 2)..
