Review
Few games evoke such a feeling of involvement as this one. You may not be underwater and turning blue, but the game effectively creates the same sense of urgency and panic. Chances are, you'll loose the first time you play - most of our testers did. Not only that, the island will sink so fast it will be hard to believe it's even possible to beat the scenario. Fortunately, unlike real life, you get a second chance. There are strategies to recover the sacred treasures and escape with your lives. That's the task your group faces, for you are not alone. An excellent co-operative game with enough bite to it to appeal to older kids.
