Forbidden Island

Hey peoples. Today I'm blogging on a board game. It's called Forbidden Island.



Forbidden Island is a game where you try to get 4 different artifacts before the island sinks. The story is that an ancient culture had 4 artifacts that could control the four elements. When their race was dying out they decided to hide the artifacts on the f
Forbidden Island and make it sink if someone ever went on it. There's the Fire Crystal, the Earth Stone, the Wind Statue, and the Water Chalice. You're team works together too.



The game is made up of square tiles in the shape of a diamond that's the island. There's treasure cards and flood cards. Every turn you get 2 treasure cards. If you get 4 cards with the same artifact symbol and get to one of the 2 corresponding island tiles to get the artifact. Every turn you draw flood cards equal to the water level and if you draw a tile it gets flooded, draw it again and that tile gets taken out of the game.



The water level goes up every time you draw a waters rise card from the treasure deck. It shuffles the flood cards drawn so far and they get added back on top the flood deck and also the higher the water level the higher number of cards get drawn each turn. If the water level gets to 5 everybody loses because you have to work together. Every player has a special power that's only his to help win. You can take 3 actions per turn, move, unflood a tile, trade cards with a player, or collect a treasure.

I think this is a app for it on the iPad.



I really like Forbidden Island because you can work together. And there's no arguments. By people's!
