Wonderful adventure game. It can get too swingy - but that's kinda the point when it comes to survival, you can get lucky and things go your way, or you can die due to many unfortunate circumstsances.

Robinson Crusoe: Viaggio verso l'Isola Maledetta
Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island is a game created by Ignacy Trzewiczek, the author of Stronghold. This time Trzewiczek takes the players to a deserted island, where they'll play the parts of shipwreck survivors confronted by an extraordinary adventure. They'll be faced with the challenges of building a shelter, finding food, fighting wild beasts, and protecting themselves from weather changes. Building walls around their homes, animal domestication, constructing weapons and tools from what they find and much more awaits them on the island. The players decide in which direction the game will unfold and – after several in-game weeks of hard work – how their settlement will look. Will they manage to discover the secret of the island in the meantime? Will they find a pirate treasure, or an abandoned village? Will they discover an underground city or a cursed temple at the bottom of a volcano? Answers to these questions lie in hundreds of event cards and hundreds of object and structure cards that can be used during the game... Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island is an epic game from Portal. You will build a shelter, palisade, weapons, you will create tools like axes, knives, sacks, you will do everything you can to… to survive. You will have to find food, fight wild beasts, protect yourself from weather changes… Take the role of one of four characters from the ship crew (cook, carpenter, explorer or soldier) and face the adventure. Use your determination skills to help your team mates, discuss with them your plan and put it into practice. Debate, discuss, and work on the best plan you all can make. Search for treasures. Discover mysteries. Follow goals of six different, engaging scenarios. Start by building a big pile of wood and setting it on fire to call for help, and then start new adventures. Become an exorcist on cursed Island. Become a treasure hunter on Volcano Island. Become a rescue team for a young lady who’s stuck on rock island… Let the adventure live! Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island is a co-op game that brings emotions to life from the best novels of Jules Verne and Daniel Defoe. Simple rules are perfectly combined with theme, and allow players to fully imagine dreadful events that take place on a deserted island.

Absolutley the most thematic coop board game I ever played. The amount of things you can do and can happen to you really builds the atmosphere of being stranded on a deserted island. It never let go so you do not know if you will make it until the end. Even defeats make for a thrilling and memorable games. Absolute masterpiece.
This is a stunning game with unique atmosphere. Every scenario has different challanges, exciting gameplay and the winning gives you a real "yeah, we did it!" feeling. The game has a deep complexity, but the rules are logical and easy to follow. One of our absolute favourite board game!
Robinson Crusoe is one of my favorite games at the moment. It gives you a great sense of trying to survive together, and I really enjoy the puzzle of figuring out what needs to be done each round. Crafting items, managing risks, and deciding as a group what the best plan is all make the game feel tense and rewarding.
I'm all about theme and this one hits it perfectly. It is not easy to win this game, but it would not be easy to survive stranded on an island and when you do finally win, it's the best feeling. I don't mind the randomness of dice and card draws, and good planning can mitigate those somewhat.
