Tout d’abord ce jeu est très joli et d’excellente facture. Le jeu est fourni dans une boite métallique, contenant des dalles épaisses pour jouer, les cartes et la réglette du niveau d’eau en carton sont aussi d’excellente qualité et il y a également des figurines pour les trésors. Les pions sont en bois. Un manuel d’instruction illustré est livré avec et il est très clair.Le jeu lui-même est de type coopératif: on joue ensemble contre le jeu pour essayer de gagner. Chaque joueur a des pouvoirs spéciaux. Si un seul des joueurs tombe à l’eau, c’est perdu pour toute l’équipe. Je ne vais pas spoiler comment le jeu fonctionne, mais il est pas facile du tout, même au niveau le plus facile, on peut perdre lors des premières parties! Et il y a plusieurs niveaux de difficultés, je n’ai pas encore été plus haut mais j’imagine à quel point les parties doivent être endiablées! C’est l’un des rares vrais jeux coopératifs avec du challenge, tous les autres jeux coopératifs que j’ai trouvé sont soit seulement semi-coopératifs, soit ennuyeux. Là il y a une vraie profondeur.Je recommande vivement ce jeu pour ceux qui souhaitent essayer ou qui aiment les jeux coopératifs, il est vraiment extrêmement bien réalisé. Et j’imagine qu’il créera d’excellent souvenirs chez les enfants avec ses belles figurines et dalles d’environnement qui nourrissent l’imagination.

Mir hat gefallen, dass es bei diesem Spiel im Gegensatz zu allen anderen mir bekannten Spielen nicht darum geht, sich GEGEN die anderen Mitspieler durchzusetzen, sondern mit ihnen zusammen das Spiel kooperativ zu meistern.

Tried it, loved it, bought it!
[...]Travel: I wouldn’t say this is the best for travel but it’s not difficult. It’s not the best because it is quite large of a box and if it were to be accidentally sat on or handled harshly it might dent or spill everywhere.Gift able: I first played this game because my dad brought it home from work a friend had loaned it to him to try. We (being me and my siblings) loved it we could not get enough of it. When he had to bring it back we were heartbroken. That Christmas I was overjoyed when I got it. This is a great gift and an even greater party game.Easiness: This game is super easy to learn but not boring to play. It was easy to understand the instructions and it’s even easier to explain it to a friend. The rules are simple but a staple part of the game. Great for any age and I mean any my youngest brother played with my grandma and they both loved it.Overall: In all I adore this game It’s great for a large group of people or even for just two people. The pictures are beautiful and enhance the game. The game can last from anywhere to 15-45. A must have for bored game lovers or if you are just bored.

Cooperative and fun game!
[...]I got this game to play as a two-player board game primarily. My husband and I needed a break from trying to assault, destroy, and otherwise obliterate each other in other games. Sure, we have lots of fun and can be pretty competitive, but sometimes you want to play a game where you aren’t attacking each other endlessly. This was the perfect solution because it is a cooperative game.Basically how this game works is that each person plays a different (randomly selected) character with unique abilities. Your objective is to collect the treasures on the island and escape before the island sinks (or sinks enough to cut off your escape route!). The game begins fairly leisurely but can feel quite frantic toward the end as more and more parts of the island are lost and you see your hope of escape dwindling.There are several starting difficulties to choose from and we have thus far only played the most beginner difficulty. Game play is the same for all difficulty levels except that your island will begin sinking more quickly sooner, making you be more strategic to prevent the loss of essential areas of your map.Game play for us has typically last 20-30 minutes, which makes it a reasonable game to play in most circumstances. The best part of the game though, is the discussion and planning that you do together, as a team. Rather than trying to sabotage your opponents, you are working with the other players toward a common goal. Sure, sometimes there is disagreement as to how to proceed and ultimately the person taking the turn gets final say in how the turn is played, but it’s all working together against the island rather than working against each other. You all succeed or fail as one. My husband has, on occasion, talked about taking turns in such a way that would sabotage our success, but that’s just how he plays when he’s frustrated with how things are going. In general, everyone will be working together.This is a fun game for two players and I think it would be interesting to have more people just to have some of the other character abilities in the same game. I would certainly recommend it for two players! This has definitely found a permanent spot in our game playing rotation due to it being quick to play, cooperative, and without a lot of complex rules to remember.

Edge-of-Your-Seat Fun – Another Co-op Winner!
[...]We’re on a bit of a cooperative board game kick lately, and Forbidden Island did NOT disappoint! After loving Pandemic, we were looking for something similar, and this one was a blast. The whole “island sinking” thing really amps up the tension – you’re constantly scrambling to keep tiles from flooding while trying to find the treasures. It’s a really fun and unique mechanic.We played with four players, and it was the perfect amount of challenge. Each player has a different role with special abilities, so you really have to communicate and work together to succeed. There were definitely some tense moments where we thought we were going to get swamped, but we managed to pull through in the end! It was a really satisfying feeling to escape with all the treasures.The game is easy to learn, but there’s still plenty of strategy involved. It’s perfect for a family game night or a get-together with friends. We loved that it’s cooperative, so everyone’s working towards a common goal. If you’re looking for a fun and engaging game that will have you on the edge of your seat, Forbidden Island is a great choice. Highly recommend it! Five stars!
