It's a great...I have to agree with this review. It's a great family-themed cooperative game. We played it with our 7-year-old and it went over really well. We've since played it several times with friends and just as a family. Of course, my wife learned the hard way that increasing the number of players to five is pretty much a recipe for failure, even at the easiest setting. They reached the highest water level just before they got to leave the island, but it was sinking pretty fast by that point anyway.<br /><br />Great game, easy to learn, the theme works really well with the game mechanics. If you want extra "roles" for the players, there's a whole thread discussing them over @ boardgamegeek.com.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the review. I hope this gets out to people who don't normally look for these sorts of games because this one isn't too widely known yet, but is a great game!Peter Schotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08234754312915202260noreply@blogger.com
