Portal Games, Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on The Cursed Island, Board Game, 1 to 4 Players, Ages 14+, 60 to 120 Minute Playing Time

Great, great game. There are lots of explanations of how to play, so I won't get into that. The board is lush, well designed and beautifully made, as are all of the components. My wife and I played the first scenario over a number of evenings (after the toddler was asleep). It took a good few hours of playing to completely understand some of the more intricate rules. I had a game night the other night, sent some how to videos to them before the arrived and set this game up. What a blast! There were some lovely and in depth conversations, of why we should build a shelter over building a bow. Why not to waste wood, etc etc. As a co-operative game it's a great way to get drawn in to a fully immersive scenario with your mates. I must say that they picked it up really quickly, mostly because we'd got over the initial hours of having to pick up the rule book every 30 seconds to check stuff. For what it's worth, I bought a small divider/pill dispenser thing, which fits perfectly into the box. In this I can keep all of the components sorted and in easy reach for gaming, packing down and setting up. I'd recommend this or something similar. I thoroughly enjoy playing this game, and even the missus is converted. Friends have been texting asking for another game so I'd say it's a winner. CONS: Difficult to understand at first. Games can take hours. It's hard, very hard. Pros: So much fun. Games can take hours. Great for generating a sense of 'teamwork'. Solo, 2 player and 4 player are all as good as each other. It's hard, which is a challenge right!? I'd buy it again, in a heartbeat. It's definitely up there with Dead of Winter..... and Mysteries of Old Peking!!!

Very good. I actually bought this primarily as a deeper solo game than Pandemic. Its certainly that. There is a lot going on, resources to balance, threats to manage and an over all scenario to complete. And it is challenging. There are plenty of rules and lots of iconography to get your head around, but this is not actually that bad. A full play through and you will pretty much have it sorted. There are some cracking playthroughs on Youtube which is a good go to resource for learning these. Definately recommended from me. Excellent solo player mechanic or you can play solo with multiple characters (ie as though there wrre 2 players). Its all good. Caveats..... its tough to beat. Thats fine by me but the difficulty may be set too high for some. I am ok with losing and having to try new strategies multiple times. Be prepared to lose. Quite a lot. Be organised with set up and take down. There are a lot of bits. I have eleastic bands to keep like cards together and use the provided bags to keep some tokens separate. If you jumble it together it may take a while to set up. Its about 10 mins for me from opening the box to sitting down with a brew. Its a co-op game. and as stated a challenging one. This could led to the situation were newer players are led by experienced ones. Fine for the experienced but perhaps a little less so for the newbies, if you are the game owner be patient with newbies and perhaps be prepared to allow a mistaken choice slip through whilst newbies learn. If you cant do that stick to solo because it may just be ome a frustration for all concerned. However, this is not uncommon in co-op games generally. Its not a specific issue to this. If its on your radar buy it. Great components. Good rule book in this Z Man version. Terrific game.

This is the single most brutally challenging game I have ever played. It smacks you around, ruins every plan and knows every move you're about to make. It's very, very difficult. Yet, it's fun. Compelling. You'll finish a game, contemplate the fact you'll never win, then you'll try again. And again! I don't know why I like it but I do. It's fantastic. Quality of the board, pieces and cards are excellent. Solo play is superb and you can only blame yourself when it all goes wrong. Play with friends and then blame them! It's not for the feint hearted, more for the adventurous. Give it a go!

A complex but satisfying Co op game. The game components are top notch. The board is heavyweight and the manual is beautifully printed on quality thick glossy paper. The artwork is also superb. The game is complex. I read the rules in their entirety before first play. But first play still necessitated looking up rules for pretty much everything I did. The rules are pretty well written. But there's lots of them. And when you want to look them up they're not well referenced. In my view, the rules for star wars rebellion are the gold standard. They're all neatly found under alphabetised headings for ease of reference. The robinson crusoe rules, on the other hand, are logical in their presentation but not easily referred to in mid game. Which makes the first game a bit of a slog. That said, the game becomes very intuitive after the first play and flows well. You can then just enjoy the desert Island experience. If no one else wants to play with you, you can play the solo game. It's actually very enjoyable. I like to play with some Louis Armstrong in the background. It just feels like the sort of thing that goes..... It's a tough challenge to win against the island. But who wants a Co op game you can win first or second time, or even consistently thereafter? That'd just be boring.

Buen juego de supervivencia y aventuras en el que la colaboración es clave para poder triunfar. Es un juego lleno de mecánicas que llevará tiempo aprender pero que resultan sencillas una vez que se les coge el manejo. Enganchará a los fans del género. Buena compra.

One of my absolute favorites for solo play. Incredibly hard, and depending on how into the hobby you are it may take a couple playthroughs to get the hang of the rules and find a good strategy, but it's 100% worth it. Tons of content and replayability. Definitely a desert island game (no pun intended).

The game is superb. A must have in your collection. It is one of a kind.. Highly enjoyable..You have an immense amount of choices with a little bit of luck factor. It is also one of the best solo games I have played ever. The seller Boardway India is highly appreciated and recommended.. They offer original products with unmatched price in market..

Great game. There is a video for this on ‘watch it played’ which will get you going faster than the rule book. A challenging game but so glad I purchased.

¿Quieres pasar un rato con amigos sin tanto rollo? Pues este juego no es para ti... Un juego con bastante grande, alrededor de 30 min solo para preparar una partida, casi 2 horas de juego dependiendo el ritmo de los jugadores, con un nivel de complejidad bastante importante, literalmente la lectura de reglas me ha tardado alrededor de 1 hora, no es necesario que todos comprendan al 100% todos los detalles de las reglas pero al menos un jugador debería conocerlas. Simplemente al ver los componentes es obvio que va a ser un juego pesado pero muy divertido al que también se puede jugar en solitario...
