Forbidden Island reviews

Its not a bad game, and it can be fun to play after a long time of not playing it, but once you have played once, I think it is too easy to beat, even when the difficulty is set to highest. Nice artwork though.

This game is very enjoyable! Fast paced co-op where you have to work together to collect all treasures and leave the island before it sinks completely.

Nice entry level game that is fun for all kids and adults as well. The island tiles and different characters give it a decent re-play value.

Affordable game with excellent production values. Comes in a handy tin box. Every family should have this in their collection.

This game is like the kids version of Pandemic. It's fun for 1 person or for groups of 8 or more. The game is made of quality components and extremely well priced. One of my favourite Co Op games.

A great cooperative game to play with the family. Nice mechanic’s that increase the intensity as the game comes closer to its conclusion.

An enjoyable game to play with the kids as it is a co-operative game in which you have to work together. Rules are easy to follow. I will buy Forbidden Desert next.

Our 4 grandchildren aged from 7 to 15 love it

Really enjoy this game, play during a long time with daughter that 11 years old.

This game is a good game for introducing people to cooperative boardgaming.

Brilliant co-op game with hours of fun had already

Really enjoyable, but can take younger players a while to get used to the idea that it's not a competitive game but a cooperative one.

A great game that gets very intense very fast.

A great co-operative game – not too brain burning, and lots of fun.

We play this when we have a bit of spare time, it only takes about 20mins! I love having this game available as a nice time-gap filler, it's also pretty fun even though it's simple.

Played it with 3 other people, none of us having played it before. Did 3 games in a row, quite exciting, losts of thinking and planning, highly enjoyable.

Loved this game. Played it with the wife as a 2-player game. Prompts a lot of discussion over some of the forward planning of moves. Then we got the kids (4 and 6) involved and they love flipping over the cards and moving their tokens and especially claiming the treasures. After 2 games my 6 year old is thinking through the moves and doing it himself. Very easy to pick up and learn – thoroughly recommended.

This is a fantastic quick filler game for inbetween the more “epic” boardgames, seems easy but gets intense pretty quick, and that was on the normal difficulty rules…
