Forbidden Island

A team of adventurers explores a shrinking island to recover four sacred treasures and escape before the terrain sinks. Players choose unique characters and take turns moving, shoring up flooded tiles, trading cards, and collecting paired treasure cards; after each turn, tiles flood or sink as the water level rises. Cooperative planning and use of character abilities are required as available routes disappear and sacrifices may become necessary. The game supports multiple difficulty levels and variable island setups, offering short, tense sessions for two to four players (with optional variants for different counts).
