Forbidden Island is an easy to learn, hard to master game. Its mechanics are simple, and winning requires planning, discussions and cooperation between the players. The metallic box is gorgeous, just like the plastic treasures and the art.
This is an enjoyable game for all ages. Simple to learn and play, but still manages to keep the attention of the strategy game lover as well as those who do not have the same inclination as the former.
All in all, it is a high placed and enjoyable game.
