“We love all the Zingo games. They are easy to learn, they can be modified for a variety of ages and they are very durable. Many games these days are cheap cardboard but this is nice plastic pieces and dispenser along with thick, durable, coated playing boards. We use this game to match numbers (5 is the same as five) and we have used it to help with math and to put numbers in order 1-10, etc… The game, in fact all of the Zingo games are multi use depending on the child’s age or learning level. Plus, they don’t have to be just for kids. They are awesome family games that can be played at all ages. Zingo Bingo has been used at our family functions for ages 4 to 72 and good, clean, competitive fun is had by all!!! There games are also perfect for someone who is developmentally delayed, suffered a brain injury from an accident or a stroke, etc…. We started with Zingo Bingo & didn’t know that there were other games but once we found out, we bought all of them!! YOU CAN’T DENY THE QUALITY OR DIVERSITY OF THESE GAMES. They are great for all ages and if they come out with more versions, we will buy them without a doubt!!!” – Customer Review

*designer: Matt Leacock*publisher: Gamewright*date: 2010*BoardGameGeek rank/rating: 2090/8.04*age: 10+*# of players: 2-4*print status: in printMaybe it’s because I started writing this review during the final few weeks of the TV series, LOST… but the whole “island full of crumbling ruins & ancient secrets” vibe resonates pretty strongly with me right now.But don’t take my (admittedly gamer-oriented) word for it: listen to my (gamer-in-training) 8 year old son… or his non-gamer 8 year old friends… or my long-suffering wife (who games because she loves me!)… or even other actual gamers who’ve played the game. It’s been a hit with everyone who has had the opportunity to play!Forbidden Island is a cooperative game for 2-4 players, though since the game is played with open hands, it works just fine as a solitaire game as well, with the player controlling two (or more) pawns. (Another odd Lost reference: this is definitely a “live together or die alone” kind of game.) Regardless of the number of players, it seems to clock in at right about a half hour of playing time.The color text of the game has the players on a search for elemental treasures (The Crystal of Fire, the Statue of the Wind, The Ocean’s Chalice & the Earth Stone) created by an ancient civilization. Of course, it’s not a simple archaeological expedition – the island is booby-trapped to begin sinking when anyone attempts to steal the treasures… and that’s exactly what you’re here to do.I could go into a detailed rules explanation… but that seems pretty pointless when a PDF of the rulebook is available online, thanks to the good folks at Gamewright. Simply put, you’re using 3 actions per turn to move your piece across an island made of tiles, attempting to collect the treasures, shore up the sinking parts of the island, and generally survive long enough for all of you to grab the last helicopter off the island (is Frank Lapidus the pilot?). At the end of each turn, you draw cards to increase your hand (and potentially increase the rate of flooding) as well to sink more parts of the island.There are lots of ways to lose:*if the helicopter landing pad sinks, you lose*if one of your team doesn’t survive, you lose*if you fail to recover all four treasures, you lose*if the island floods completely, you loseBut it wouldn’t be much of a cooperative game if you won all the time, right? So far, we’re doing very well playing at the Novice setting, while we’re about 50/50 at the Normal setting. I have yet to convince my son to try it at the more difficult settings. (BTW, a clever game feature – you only have to change the starting level of the water – indicated on a sliding scale – to change the difficulty of the game. No re-mixing the deck, no convoluted alternative set-up.)The components are high quality – nice cards, great chunky tiles with evocative “forbidden island” artwork that reminds me a bit of the computer game Myst, and nifty plastic “treasures” – all packaged in a cool-looking tin with a well-designed box insert. (For those of you non-gamers, the “well-designed insert” may not sound like a big deal, but I can tell you from experience that it makes it easier to transport & keep the game in top-notch condition… and that not all companies think this part through.)A side note: since the designer, Matt Leacock, is best known for his OTHER cooperative game, Pandemic, it’s helpful to note that while the games share some mechanics (most notably the Infection/Waters Rise restacking of the decks & the various player roles that allow each person to “break” the rules in a particular way) but that the board play (due to the sinking tiles) and kid-friendly theme make for a very different game experience.Finally, the recommended age of 10 is correct – but only if the kids are going to be playing without any adults helping run the game. With a friendly adult, the game can easily be played by kids as young as 5. The cheap price point (the MSRP is only $15.99) means that Forbidden Island will be likely be one of the best kid gaming investments you’re likely to make this year.* – Customer Review

We’re on a bit of a cooperative board game kick lately, and Forbidden Island did NOT disappoint! After loving Pandemic, we were looking for something similar, and this one was a blast. The whole “island sinking” thing really amps up the tension – you’re constantly scrambling to keep tiles from flooding while trying to find the treasures. It’s a really fun and unique mechanic.We played with four players, and it was the perfect amount of challenge. Each player has a different role with special abilities, so you really have to communicate and work together to succeed. There were definitely some tense moments where we thought we were going to get swamped, but we managed to pull through in the end! It was a really satisfying feeling to escape with all the treasures.The game is easy to learn, but there’s still plenty of strategy involved. It’s perfect for a family game night or a get-together with friends. We loved that it’s cooperative, so everyone’s working towards a common goal. If you’re looking for a fun and engaging game that will have you on the edge of your seat, Forbidden Island is a great choice. Highly recommend it! Five stars! – Customer Review

Game mechanics is slightly more complicated which add a bit of strategy in it. Overall is entertaining… – Customer Review

Great game! Such an easy principle: get your car out of the traffic jam. Easy to set up and not always so easy to solve! – Customer Review
