"Gets old fast"
3 stars"

Its not a bad game, and it can be fun to play after a long time of not playing it, but once you have played once, I think it is too easy to beat, even when the difficulty is set to highest. Nice artwork though.

"Awesome co-operative fun for the whole family"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game is very enjoyable! Fast paced co-op where you have to work together to collect all treasures and leave the island before it sinks completely.

Nice entry level game that is fun for all kids and adults as well. The island tiles and different characters give it a decent re-play value.

Affordable game with excellent production values. Comes in a handy tin box. Every family should have this in their collection.

"Kids version of Pandemic."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game is like the kids version of Pandemic. It's fun for 1 person or for groups of 8 or more. The game is made of quality components and extremely well priced. One of my favourite Co Op games.
