A newer category of board games is the cooperative game where the goal is not to defeat an opponent but for all the players to win as a group. By cooperative game innovator Matt Leacock comes the popular Forbidden Island from GameWright.
From their website: “Join a team of fearless adventurers on a do-or-die mission to capture four sacred treasures from the ruins of this perilous paradise. Your team will have to work together and make some pulse-pounding maneuvers, as the island will sink beneath every step! Race to collect the treasures and make a triumphant escape before you are swallowed into the watery abyss!”
There are two variations on the game: Forbidden Sky and Forbidden Desert.
