Review: Great fun: a well-crafted collaborative game that works brilliantly with youngsters - This was a Christmas present for my nine year old son. I had played it before and though he would like it, but I was surprised to see how easily his younger brother, my seven year old son, picked it up. The game play is actually very simple with players competing against the storm that moves around the board burying locations deeper under the sand. All players win or lose as a team, with the team losing if the storm becomes too ferocious, the board gets buried in sand or any of the team dies of thirst. Each player has different abilities to help them discover pieces of the flying machine you need to escape. Combining this with the desert constantly shifting and items in random locations, each game feels different to keep it fresh each time. What has impressed me most is how well balanced the game is. The difficulty level of the game can be varied nicely, by simply changing the strength that the storm starts at. All the different characters feel nicely balanced too, with distinct strengths, none of which are too insignificant or too powerful. Most importantly, they are sufficiently different to encourage the players to adopt unique roles within the team. The game is driven by collaboration, with the storm taking a go for every player's. If players don't work together, the team will fail quickly due to dying of thirst. If they don't utilise their unique individual strengths for the benefit of everyone, the storm will usually overwhelm them before they escape. If you've not tried a collaborative game before, this is a great one to start with. I can thoroughly recommend it for younger players too. The fundamentals of the rules are easy to grasp. The instructions are well-written and most eventualities are covered. But there will never be an argument as everyone is on the same side. And when someone loses a game, there is no-one who has won to wind them up. Perfect for competitive siblings!
Review: Brilliant game, would recommend for couples and small families for an afternoon of fun! - Such a fun and immersive game! Originally played Forbidden Island game by Gamewright with a couple of friends and loved it, intended on purchasing it ourselves but saw this game, Forbidden Desert, and thought the 1st one was so good that we would try this and both myself and girlfriend love this! It's a game you can play with just 2 people and thoroughly enjoy it or play it with up to 5 peoples and still have a good time. This game is a bit more challenging than the first one due to having a few more additional features that can challenge the individual playing as well as the group. Unlike some board games, this game you play as a team with individual characters, such as a climber or explorer, working together to build a flying machine to escape the desert before you get buried and lost forever (or at least until the end of the game!) in the sand. To do so you all take turns in playing by picking action cards and moving your counter accordingly. The aim is locating the parts to the machine which the locations change as you play due to sandstorms that sweep in, moving the eye of the storm around the 'board'. When the eye of the storm moves, the tiles are moved as per the card's instruction and 'sand' is added to those moved tiles covering any parts or players found on it. When it comes around to your turn, you take actions such as player specific actions (defined on the player's card), excavate lost cities, clear sand, rescue other players or locations, collect parts, move around the board and take a drink. However whilst playing you must ensure your thirst meter doesn't get too low otherwise you will die of thirst. This is affected every time the 'Sun rises' card is picked and you aren't in shelter or have the appropriate 'protection'. Another factor you are playing against it the sand storm. The storm gradually gets worse throughout play as the 'Storm picks up' card is picked throughout play, causing the storm meter to rise. Each time this rises game play gets a bit more difficult with another action card being picked per player. Once the storm meter hits the top, your team has been buried and you have lost the game so you must get out of there before you get stuck! Once you have all parts of the machine you must all make your way to the take off location to fly out of there safe and sound. Once you've done so, you can safely say you've won the game and made it out alive! Thoroughly enjoy the game, and it's predecessor and would recommend to anyone looking for a game for a quiet afternoon/evening, to take camping or to bring out after a dinner with guests. Another game we enjoy and would recommend from Gamewright is Sushi Go. Yet to try other ones of their games but please let me know of any recommendations that won't break the bank!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple rules, quick to play co-op game.
*by W***E on 30 December 2024*

Compared to the majority of the games in our collection, this is a nice simple game; easy to setup, simple rules and quick to play. Neatly presented in quite a small tin, it is good for holidays & doesn’t require much table space. Having said it is a simple game, it is not always easy to win. Thanks to the random tile order, the critical ‘Fools Landing’ tile can turn up in a most inconvenient place and, as we select our player adventurers randomly, some have more useful talents than others. The randomness of the island and artefact cards also ensure that, despite the simple mechanics, no two games are the same. However, with the standard diamond island configuration it is usually a bit too easy to win once one has worked out a winning strategy. It plays at a good pace & the co-op element is strong and despite it being a simple game, we play it quite often for a bit of light relief. I found some alternative island configurations on the internet and all of them are far more challenging than the diamond so the game never gets stale. Rulebook: 10/10 Complexity: 2/10 Component quality: 10/10 Replayability: 8/10 Gameplay pace: 10/10
