An unquenched thirst for survival!
Dive into this exciting adventure where you must collect all the pieces of a flying machine buried deep in the desert, among the ruins of an ancient forgotten city.
But be warned, the scorching desert forgives no one; you and your team will have to use all your knowledge and skills to survive the blazing heat and relentless sandstorms.
You must quickly find the flying machine and escape before you yourself become a permanent artifact of the Forbidden Desert!
In this cooperative board game, players take on the roles of explorers whose helicopter has crashed in the desert. The explorers were attempting to find the ship of an ancient civilization that can fly, and now it is their only hope of escaping the desert. The board consists of 24 tiles arranged in a 5×5 grid where one space is always empty, marking the desert storm, so players cannot move through it. During the game, the storm will move and cover other tiles with sand. At the beginning of the game, each player receives a character with special abilities. On their turn, players have 4 actions to use for exploring tiles, moving, using cards, etc. To escape, players must find 4 parts of the ship that are hidden in the desert by exploring tiles. When they explore a tile, players might find a clue to determine where a ship part is, a mirage, or another invention of the ancient civilization that helps the players. However, at the end of each player's turn, Storm cards are revealed. These move the sandstorm a certain number of spaces and bury tiles with sand along the way. As the game progresses, the storm will become stronger, and more tiles will be buried by sand. Players must find all the ship parts quickly, before the storm buries them.
If you enjoyed the board game Forbidden Desert (in Greek), we recommend its first part, the board game Forbidden Island, which moves you from the merciless desert to sinking islands.
