No idea why antyone would down vote this. It's the best explanation of the rules I've seen on YouTube. O_o

I just bought this game today. Looking up videos to explain the rules, I come across this one... the best one on YouTube!

[juliemikolowski]

Excellent explanation of this game. The game seemed confusing when I watched the other tutorials, but this video is great. Thanks for sharing! Great job...

[speelbergo]

this is the third video i watched to try to understand the rules and it's easily the best. Thanks!

[marvinmartian]

Very clear and helpful. Good pacing too. I appreciate the time and effort to help explain this.

Thank you! That was a very clear and easy explanation! I super appreciate it and so will my daughter :) we are going to play this evening and I found the instructions confusing as I often do. I look forward to watching more of your how to's

This is an excellent, concise explanation of the rules of Pandem..Forbidden Island.
Recommended!

I like the clear audio, good footage quality, visual support and the speed. Here are two buts, though: 1) At the beginning of the video, I miss a few sentences about what the game is about and what the object is! 2) Sometimes I would actually love you to zoom out a bit.
Anyway, thank you for the video. :)

I just discovered your channel and I really like your explanations! Simple to follow and no bullcrap like "box drops" and unboxing garbage. Love your work, please keep it up!

[JudithProctor]

Very clear explanation of the rules - just what I was looking for.

In theory: you draw a Water's Rise card as the last card from the Treasure deck. Do you discard it and then shuffle the face-up treasure deck or vice versa?

[TomMannCenturia]

Helpful video, well explained thanks.

[AlexTRex]

7:42 I don’t understand why you would place the flood cards that have been pulled and put them on top of the deck. Wouldn’t you just keep pulling the same cards then?

[handyhomebrewnetwork]

Can you give a teammate one of your treasure cards, as an action of course, if they already have 5 in their hand? Example: it's my turn and I was to give my teammate the fire card but she already has five in here can...can she accept it and discard one of the five she already had or can she not accept it because her card limit is full? I can not seem to find this answer. Thanks!

[LukeSimpson]

Am I correct to assume the diver cannot swim diagonally?

[arranhashim]

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?

[robertnelson]

If you win a treasure, you (a) collect the treasure (b) don't care if the island sinks (c) drop the cards in the discard pile.
My confusion is this : Putting the treasure cards of the treasure collected in the discard pile will mean that eventually when the treasure card deck runs out, the discard pile will be shuffled and the discarded cards will be again picked. What if a player picks these cards and has no use. Does he discard and pick up another? In this case, does it not make sense to remove these cards from the game ?

Each step is articulated, but the purpose of each step is not clear. Watching this as someone trying to learn and play with children for the first time… and I’m still completely lost.
