AT THE TABLE
A little about Forbidden Island.
Your adventurers share a single goal: collect the island’s treasures and escape by helicopter. Each role has a special ability, and every turn gives you a limited number of actions to move, shore up flooded tiles or exchange cards. Flooding accelerates as the water rises, so preserving routes and planning the escape matter as much as collecting treasures.
What you’ll do
- Move between island tiles and shore up flooded locations
- Share matching treasure cards and recover the four treasures
- Reach Fools’ Landing together and use a helicopter card to escape
Good to know
You all win or lose together. The water-level setting changes the challenge, while adventurer roles give players different ways to help the team.
