Forbidden Island – The Cooperative Board Game for 2-4 Players

Experience the thrill of Forbidden Island, a collaborative card game that dares you to discover ancient treasures. In this do-or-die mission, join a team of fearless adventurers as you navigate through the perilous ruins of this mysterious paradise. Your goal? Capture the four sacred treasures before the island sinks beneath your feet.

Created by Matt Leacock, the mastermind behind the best-selling game Pandemic, Forbidden Island promises pulse-pounding excitement and heart-pumping maneuvers. As the water level rises with each step you take, race against time to collect the treasures and make a triumphant escape before the island succumbs to the watery abyss.

Immerse yourself in the legend of the Archean empire, a civilization with the power to control the elements of fire, wind, water, and earth. Hidden for years on the Forbidden Island, these sacred treasures must be found and protected from enemies. But be warned, the island was designed to sink if intruders attempted to capture them.

To embark on this thrilling adventure, set the water level according to your gaming skill and let the quest to breach the borders of the ancient empire begin. With teamwork at the core, work together with your fellow adventurers to prevent the island from sinking and locate the four treasures hidden within. Use Flood, Treasure, and Adventurer Cards strategically on the 24 island tiles that make up Forbidden Island.

Each player is dealt an Adventure Card, assigning them unique strengths. Rather than competing against each other, this game encourages collaborative play. It stimulates problem-solving and strategy skills, making it the perfect choice for a fun and engaging game night.

Included in the game are a water level marker, water meter, 58 playing cards, 24 island tiles, 6 pawns, 4 treasure figurines, rules of play, Gamewright catalog, and a comment card. Matt Leacock's latest creation offers rich illustrations, innovative rules, and infinite possibilities generated by the tiles and cards. Brace yourself for an electrifying atmosphere of tension and excitement as you embark on this unforgettable adventure.

Forbidden Island is suitable for 2 to 4 players, ages 10 and up, with a playing time of approximately 30 minutes. It has been awarded the 2010 Mensa Favorite Brainy Games Winner title, solidifying its status as a game that challenges your strategic thinking, problem-solving abilities, and cooperation skills.

Join the ranks of fearless adventurers and dare to discover the Forbidden Island. Will you be able to capture the sacred treasures and escape in time, or will you be swallowed into the watery abyss? The fate of the island rests in your hands.
