3. Cover charge payments and food and drink purchases at the café do not qualify for
Meeple Stars.
4. Meeple Stars can be redeemed either during webstore checkout or when purchasing games
at the café. Each discount can only be applied to a single purchase. If the value of the item is less than the discount amount, the remaining balance will be forfeited.
5. Discounts cannot be used for shipping costs, only for merchandise.

Customer Reviews
Simple gameplay, but very tense to play! Messenger and Navigator are GOATed.
As the title says! This game is a great cooperative experience.
Every player has their own ability to help them tackle the ever sinking island to retrieve the artifacts and escape.
The sinking mechanic picks up pace, as the island shrinks faster and faster! Most games barely have a wasted move if you want to win! So can get very tense!
Forbidden Island has become my favourite version of the classic Pandemic. Created by the same designer, instead of tokens spreading across a board, the board tiles gradually disappear leaving you with an intense race to the finish before you've nowhere left to go. Often unfairly labeled as an easier version of Pandemic (which is silly since you can raise the difficulty) this is the same sort of mechanics re-jigged in a way that flows perfectly. I love it!
This is a really interesting collaborative game which makes a nice change from a lot of games where you are in competition with each other.
There are different levels of difficulty which is great to test yourself. There are also different roles to play with different abilities which means the dynamic is different every time you play it.
It's just as fun with two, three or four players, and it doesn't take too long (it can easily be fit in within half an hour). The artwork and design is really cool, and the tin it comes is a a good size so it's easy to transport if you're bringing it over to a friend's place.
Bought this game as a gift for a family with teenagers. They are enjoying the cooperative element and the fact that this makes it a bit different to other games they have.
