Description
From the award-winning designer, Matt Leacock comes Forbidden Island!
Dare to discover Forbidden Island!
Join a team of fearless adventurers on a do-or-die mission to capture four sacred treasures from the ruins of this perilous paradise.
Your team will have to work together and make some pulse-pounding manoeuvres, as the island will sink beneath every step.
Race to collect the treasures and make a triumphant escape before you are swallowed into the watery abyss!
What's in the box?
58 playing cards
24 island tiles
6 pawns
4 treasure figurines
1 water meter and marker
How to play:
1. Take up to 3 actions:
- Move: Move your pawn to an adjacent Island tile.
- Shore Up: Flip any flooded adjacent Island tile or the Island tile your pawn is on.
- Give a Treasure Card: Give one or more of your treasure cards to another player if both of your pawns are on the same island tile.
- Capture a Treasure: Capture a treasure by discarding four matching treasure cards from your hand if your pawn is on either corresponding island tile.
2. Draw 2 treasure deck cards.
Draw 2 cards from the top of the Treasure deck and add them to your face-up hand.
Follow the instructions on each card.
3. Draw Flood cards
Draw cards from the top of the flood draw pile equal to the current water meter level.
If a tile is already flooded, it sinks into the abyss!
Ending the GameWin
Once you have collected all four treasures, everyone must move their pawns to the Fools' Landing tile.
