Most game nights will include a range of titles that are totally unconnected to one another. They’ll pit teams against each other, or force friends to duel in a battle of skill and wits. But, there’s another style of game night that you can embark on right now, that will test your collective group, forcing you to work together on a tumultuous journey that focuses on a single game series. Gamewright’s Forbidden line, designed by Matt Leacock, is the ultimate excuse for a big night in.
THE FORBIDDEN GAME SERIES
The Forbidden game series first started in 2010 with the debut of Forbidden Island. The unique title asked players to collaborate in escaping from the sinking titular setting, with the terrain becoming more dangerous by the second. The strategy title, which was beautifully illustrated, forced players to think outside of the box in how they would approach this challenge. With tiles disappearing from the board, players had to collect special items before they were allowed to escape.
