Survive The Island Board Game (2024 Edition) - Thrilling Escape Adventure with New Monsters! Fun Strategy Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 8+, 2-5 Players, 45 Minute Playtime, Made by ZygomaticThe Forest Stewardship Council

This game is just as fun as the original! A worthy sequel! Gameplay is ready to learn, especially with the result available graphics pretty much everywhere. Family game night is back!

This is a family fun game. You can choose to play nice or target others. It has some memory/strategy incorporated in. Each turn you will roll a dice tower determine what monster to move, and you move that monster as you wish. Also you will be turning over tiles that will slowly shrink the island and also whatever you uncover will affect to board or be a skill you can use later on. So there is some randomness to it. Each meeple has a number on the bottom that determines the point it carries when rescued. When I played with my younger daughter I chose not to memorize the points my meeples had just to add to the randomness of it. We also played it with my father in law who doesn't play board games much, and he was able to pick up the rules pretty quick.

We enjoyed this so much! If you are a game-loving family or love game nights with friends, you'll love this. It involves strategy, but is not too complex. I would recommend ages 10 and up. We have four kids: 16, 13, 11, and 10. This is just a five player game (an expansion pack would be GREAT!), so we played in teams, and that worked great. It just meant two people worked together to make the decision on their turn.It sounds really complicated when you first read the instructions. But once you play a round, it makes sense and flows well. There are also little turn cards to remind you what all you can do on your turn and in what order.It's clever, the pieces are great quality, and the game play is engaging. Great game!

Fun game for up to 5 people. With a set amount of moves, it takes about an hour to play. Great strategy & luck.

Fun game! Easy to learn and fun to play even with adults. Alternate play: If players don't have a good memory, just try to save as many of your meeples as you can. If there's a tie, THEN add up the numbers under the meeples for a tie breaker.

This game is amazing and a great introduction to cutthroat gaming! The new edition adds just enough to the game to pick up even if you own the original edition!

All the hallmarks of a great game here. Easy to play. Great flow. Has interesting and impactful power ups that are not overbalanced.This is one of those rare games that's fun for adults and kids to play together. One where you're not bored playing and not so complex the kids (7-8+) are lost and you have to play for them.Finally, having the kaiju stomp around and push the the little adventures into sharks or smashing full rafts of little meeples with a sea serpent is great fun.Plays in about 30-40 mins.Well packaged, everything has a place and pieces won't get mixed in transport.Definitely worth the cash.

It takes about an hour or more the first time you play to completely understand it. I do feel like the instructions could not only be written better, but also laid out better. We had to google many questions that came up that the instructions don't cover. Once we got the gameplay down, games now take less than an hour and are always different and fun. It is a cut throat game though, and it will definitely not make you any friends. If you want to win, you have to be ruthless.It is a lot of fun though, and everyone who plays it, loves it.
