Tonight we played Forbidden Island.
Our two-month-old grandson brought his parents over to our house for some supper and we gave them some. Then, Peter broke out a game he just got and we played for the first time.
It's called, if you remember the first sentence of this post, Forbidden Island. I'm not sure why it's forbidden. I will tell you that it is sinking and it is very important that you get off the island before it disappears forever. But you have to gather up four treasures before you catch the helicopter off the island, so you are busy, busy, busy.
It is a game of cooperation rather than competition. We, the four of us, managed to win our game, but it was close. It would have been less close had I not forgotten to give my daughter a winged lion card three turns before she finally got it.
Peter was a fearful that the game might be a little simplistic given some of the promotions that were in the box when he opened it. But by the end, I think we all had a good time playing and look forward to playing again. I recommend it.
What it looks like.
