Tiles are moving around and collecting sand constantly. So like all of Leacock’s coop games the clock is ticking and the game gets harder as time passes.Very similar to Forbidden Island, the shifting sands mechanic makes Forbidden Desert unique. You may also move between unblocked tunnel tiles for 1 action.A tile is considered “blocked” if there are 2 or more Sand markers on it. Note, leave a small gap between the tiles when you create the Desert. “A tense, uphill struggle that will leave you pouring sand (markers) out of your boots for a week” For example, if the level is at 3, draw 3 cards.Reveal the cards one at a time, with the wind rose icon at the bottom, and place them near the Storm discard pile.After drawing and applying the cards, discard them face up into the discard pile.These cards "blow" the number of tiles indicated by the number of squares on the card into the hole on the board (representing the eye of the sandstorm).Any pawns, Sand markers, and/or flying machine parts on the tiles move along with the tiles as they are shifted.After shifting the first tile, do this again for the next tile that's immediately to the right of the Storm.After moving each tile, add a Sand marker to each tile that you just moved. The gear can include things like a jet pack, or secret water reserve that all encourage interaction and teamwork. There are 12 Gear tiles in the game.After excavating a gear symbol tile, draw the top card from the Equipment deck, place it face up in front of you, and read its instructions. So be careful!There are 3 Storm Picks Up cards in the Storm deck. This is tied directly to the storm “ramping up”- you flip more cards each turn as the game progresses, the storm moves around a bunch, more sand piles on, etc., etc.Of course, this is where a lot of the fun comes in.
Shuffle the Storm deck and Equipment deck and put them near the board.Insert the Sand Storm meter (two-sides) into the holder and place a meter clip on it according to the number of players (bottom corners) and level of difficulty (Novice-Normal-Elite-Legendary) you wish to play.Players can choose their role as Archaeologist, Explorer, Navigator, Climber, Water Carrier, Meteorologist. Your teammates may give you advice on the best actions to take during your turn. If you clear out a tile of sand, you can discover exactly what lies beneath. The components of the game feel nice and sturdy. The rules of the game need time to learn. The set up is pure Flight Of The Pheonix by way of Indiana Jones, with players coming over all Jimmy Stuart with a bull whip after carelessly crash landing. Sweden Lund. The game mechanics are very much the same as Forbidden Island but instead of raise a sinking island, you are trying to remove the sand from the desert. We starting with forbidden island a few months before reading about this game and now when given the choice this game is always picked over forbidden island. Make a 5 x 5 square of tiles with the tile missing in the center (The missing tile is the Storm). This is very minor because there is another place in the insert that the propeller fits into.Overall Forbidden Desert is a great addition to my game collection and something that my game group, Family, and Friends have all enjoyed playing.From the safety of the helicopter you survey the Cliffs of Abandon on the horizon as they crumble into the whirlpool. Others reveal locations that harbour funky pieces of tech that can help your team out of many a jam. Legend tells of an ancient technologically advanced Sonar Airship hidden deep within the desert.
In Forbidden Desert, each player chooses a character that has a special ability or abilities. After explaining all the ways to lose to my gaming friends (dehydration, being buried alive in sand, or the storm reaching the maximum intensity) they latched onto dehydration as the biggest threat and refused to stray too far from the water source. Once a tile has accumulated more than one layer of sand it’s blocked becoming impassable and can only be interacted with once all the offending sand has been dug out, so freshly discovered parts can become buried or even our adventurers, OK not can, will, WILL be buried.If you hadn’t already figured it out the Storm Deck is bad, nestled within is further misery waiting to strike like a particular ornery rattlesnake and that’s the “sun beats down” card. The desert and the sun is very unforgiving and it will beat you down with the force of mother nature.Just like Forbidden Island, I love that there’s a sense of urgency.
