This is the sequel to the cooperative adventure game Forbidden Island, which centers on the search for ancient artifacts. The creators faced the difficult task of maintaining the original theme while designing a completely new, fresh game. A constantly shifting board, individual resource management, and a unique method for finding machine parts all ensure that fans of the first game will enjoy a brand-new experience.
Here is the situation: your team of adventurers has been tasked with traveling to the excavations of an ancient desert city to recover a legendary flying machine, said to be powered by solar energy. Minutes before arriving at your destination, a sudden sandstorm hits, and your helicopter makes a crash landing.
Now that you are stranded in an endless desert and the storm is intensifying, your only hope for survival is to excavate the city as quickly as possible, find the parts for the flying machine, and escape on it. However, if even one team member dies of thirst or the storm becomes too powerful, your entire team will lose, and you yourselves will become eternal artifacts of the Forbidden Desert.
Quench your thirst for adventure!
