We have really been getting lots of high quality games this year. Edit: I know LG is just joking around but for those not in the know, it's 2-5 players, not 25, that is just a misprint. pjft Well-Known Member Feb 15, 2011 1,082 8 38 #7 pjft, Feb 11, 2016 I was still scratching my head at that until you spelled it out I am going to get this as usual. I read the Pocket Tactics review, though, and it mentioned that it no longer has a "tabletop co-op" mode, where we just lay it on the table and sit one in front of the other, and the UI changes accordingly. Can someone confirm this? guzzla Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze May 12, 2015 162 0 0 #8 guzzla, Feb 11, 2016 This takes Forbidden Island and adds a few more decision points. I find the tabletop version of this to be much better and I rarely ever play Island any more unless it is with children or new players. Closer to Pandemic in complexity but not quite as much, Pandemic can get more puzzly on harder difficulties. If you like either of the 2 you probably can't go wrong here.
