Gear up for a thrilling adventure to recover a legendary flying machine buried deep in the ruins of an ancient desert city. You’ll need to coordinate with your teammates and use every available resource if you hope to survive the scorching heat and relentless sandstorm. Find the flying machine and escape before you all become permanent artifacts of the Forbidden Desert! When Gamewright launched Forbidden Island in 2010, they had an inkling that they had created a hit game but never to the point that we’d be prompted to make a sequel. Well, here they are a few years later with just that in hand. Their challenge to designer Matt Leacock was to create a game that would contain familiar elements (cooperative play, modular board), while offering up a completely different in-game experience. In addition, they wanted it to be simultaneously approachable to new players while upping the ante for those who felt they had mastered Forbidden Island. All this resulted in a fresh new game with an innovative set of mechanics, such as an ever-shifting board, individual resource management, and unique method for locating the flying machine parts. Hopefully they’ve achieved our goals and quenched your thirst for adventure!

Fun sequel! OVERVIEW
Perfect mix of Pandemic and Forbidden Island — best of both worlds! If you’re already familiar with Matt Leacock’s games (Forbidden Island, Pandemic), feel free to read on the next paragraph. For the uninitiated, Forbidden Desert is a co-operative board game from Matt Leacock, who created similar games like Pandemic and Forbidden Island. All of the games share basic traits;, the main theme being that you are all working together toward a common goal, and things get exponentially worse and more panicked as the game goes on. There’s always a lot of ways to lose…
Great game with one small issue… Positives of the game:
