On a close enough theme of "Forbidden Island" Asmodeus - Cocktail games - Strategy Games - The Forbidden Island, namely an island that gradually sinks into the ocean, "The Island" is in the spirit , opposite the famous cooperative game Cocktail Games. Here, it's every man for himself; 6 small figures of our diverse value (and our neighbors) are on a much cursed island collapses, the beaches of tiles first, then forests and finally the mountains (beautiful tiles of different thicknesses simulating relief!) . We must escape as quickly before the volcano erupts, marking the end of the game and join the 4 safe islands scattered to the corners of the large and beautiful plateau. Some boats are waiting on the beach to take us there but space is expensive and whales roam threatening to destroy our frail craft. Swimming is a solution but it is longer and sharks are never far away when the dreaded sea serpent, nothing can resist him!. Each turn allows us to move (to flee by swimming or rowing) but also to move a monster to bring slyly close to our opponents ... bad players this game will finish you! The rules are quickly assimilated, the parties are fairly short (under an hour) with a growing tension not knowing the moment of awakening of the volcano, all ages meet there in a good mood vacharde (7 years minimum to apprehend strategy), the material is superb, worth the price, this is very pleased beyond 2 players but be randomly allergic quickly disgusted to see their beautiful ruined by a turnaround strategy fatal tile (whirlpool style). A beautiful game without pretension brain but not simplistic easy to discover with friends or / and children.
