Game played: Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island ( Z-Man Games ) BGG Id: 121921

Seven of us this week so two tables was the order of the day. My group of three kicked off with Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island, a co-operative game that comes with lots of different scenarios. However, the rules are not easy to go through and raised lots of questions as we were playing and, as a result, it took us all evening. And the game is hard. Keeping everyone alive is not easy and, as soon as one person dies, everyone loses. As time goes on, the game ratchets up the number of bad things that happen. As you move into winter, half way through the game, the weather can soon worsen your health quite drastically. And so it was that Mark G succumbed to the elements on turn 7 (of a potential 12) and we lost. I found it a very interesting and very thematic game. The events give lots of flavour to what's going on and you only use a small subset of the events available each game so each time you play should be quite different. Definitely one to play again now that I've got the rules fully worked out.
