Forbidden Island: The Islands & Treasure Powers Expansion
2016 / Co-operative board game fan expansion / 2-4 playersThe publisher preferred to release increasingly harder sequels to this game rather than milk it with unnecessary modular upgrades, but fortunately the fan community came to the rescue with printable overcomplications. Will any be keepers?
Island Variants ****
Some of these were included with some versions of the game anyway, and are patterns you could come up with yourself, so it barely counts. Most or all are guaranteed to make the game harder to borderline impossible.
Treasure Powers ***
Free, thematically-relevant power-ups that are handy and make use of spare cards, though actions are less likely to be going spare by the time you've earned them.
New Roles ***
These make interesting alternatives for solo challenges, though they look a bit complicated for the six year old, especially as the lack of matching coloured pawns means we'd forget who we were.
