Product Description
Forbidden Island is a cooperative adventure board game where players join forces instead of competing against one another. Your team explores a mysterious island, captures four sacred treasures, and tries to escape before the island sinks into the sea. Every turn brings new tension as locations flood, pathways disappear, and your group must make clever choices together. With strong teamwork, smart planning, and a bit of courage, this family board game turns every session into a dramatic race against time. Gamewright lists it for ages 10+, 2 to 4 players, and about 30 minutes per game.
