But leave your competitive spirit at home because this 2010 Mensa Favorite Brainy Games Winner is a cooperative game where you win or lose as a team, making it a rewarding game for families.

How to Play:

Players work together cooperatively. Each turn, players can take up to 3 actions; draw 2 Treasure Cards; and draw Flood cards equal to the current water level. You must have 4 matching Treasure Cards to collect each treasure. When tiles are flooded, they are flipped over to their flooded side. When a specific tile has flooded twice, it comes off the board. Shore up flooded tiles to prevent their sinking. To win, capture all 4 Treasures, and escape via Helicopter Lift before the Island sinks.

The Marbles BrainCoach says...

I love that Forbidden Island is a cooperative versus competitive game. I know people love to kill each other in games, but I find that when there is a shared common goal, the fun is increased.
