Adventure Island

After first play - Family fun, dice drama, and an immersive story - we had a rollicking good time.

Great so far but the rules have mistakes galore! Better than Tainted Grail! Lost my update but better than Andor, the mechanics the theme and easy they tiev together!

A bit like a mix of Robinson Crusoe and choose your own adventure books. Good production quality, a lot of fun, but the rules could have been better. Do not expect to finish every scenario on the first try, there will be a lot of trial and error before you succeed.

Really enjoyed this experience. We played a S a family of 4 and 5 with my mum for 2 rounds. It was easy to bring her in for one game. We made it easier with a few simple rule changes and I agree the dice are a crucial factor but we had some great moment rolling what we needed when the time came which more than made up for the times we didn’t. Decent story here and we were really involved through out with some nice surprises as the story played out.

Better than I expected. Although you play through a story, you won‘t be able to „unlock“ all the secrets and achievements in the first playthrough, which I like. System for archiving and keeping cards not quite refined yet. Would need at least reference numbers printed on BACK of cards, so you don’t see what’s coming when searching for one. Also the gap at the bottom of box is too big, cards can tilt and slide through, very annoying. Story not super imaginative bit still fun.
