The Forbidden Island

Product Description The Forbidden Island

The Forbidden Island, the popular family game in which you have to work together. The Forbidden Island was the hidden lair of the Archaeans, an ancient mystical civilization. The myth has it that the Archeans controlled the four elements of the Earth – fire, wind, water and earth – with four sacred treasures: the Crystal of Fire, the Statue of the Wind, the Chalice of the Ocean and the Stone of the Earth. Because the treasures would cause catastrophic damage in evil hands, the Archeans secretly hid them on the Forbidden Island and designed it so that it would sink if invaders ever tried to steal them. After the mysterious demise of their empire, the Forbidden Island remained hidden for centuries…until now.

Your team of adventurers must work together to prevent the Forbidden Island from sinking so you have enough time to retrieve the four treasures. Once you have them, you have to get to the Fools' Land and escape with the helicopter to win. But if the island sinks before the mission is completed, you lose! Can your team be the first to enter the island, find the treasures and make it out alive? • a new cooperative game from the author of the successful Pandemic
