Elijah – Either works very well for a family friendly game night. Our preference is Desert because of the additional variety/randomness that challenges us more from accomplishing the goal. We also found more working/reasoning together in Desert rather than one person dominating telling others what to do on their turns.

Since the are both cooperative, it’s a good balance because the older kids can enjoy thinking through options and teaching the younger kids how to think that way during the game.

There will be some people that will be left out if I choose Forbidden Island, and there will be people left out if I choose Forbidden Desert. Which one is the best for a family friendly game night?! – Eli

I was wondering, ( thank you to -Sylvian) it’s true that Island is more complex, but my kids love complex games ( the older one) but my little one will get overwhelmed. So it’s either one or the other! Which one do you suggest to be more in the middle? Thanks! -Kayla

Sylvain – that’s true with Desert over Island. If you’re looking for a great feeling of pressure, then Castle Panic is the way to go.

Right now, i’m down to Castle Panic, Forbidden Island/Desert and Fire Rescue. I think that Forbidden Desert might have a + on the island because it seems a little more complex (without scaring the people away).
