Forbidden Island

Action Points

You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.

Cooperative Game

Everyone works together against the game itself — you win or lose as a team, so get ready to strategize together!

Events

Random events shake things up during the game — sometimes helpful, sometimes chaotic, always interesting.

Grid Movement

Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.

Hand Management

You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.

Map Reduction

Parts of the map disappear as the game progresses — the shrinking board ramps up the tension.

Modular Board

The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
