Is this a good game for adults

Yes, my husband and I both enjoy it. I would play this with other adults. Could get interesting with all adults. You only win as a team. There are rules for making it harder(island water cards start at higher # being drawn each turn).

It is collaborative rather than competitive, i.e. you all play together to collectively win (or lose). That makes it great if you have friends playing for the first time as helping them out is in the spirit of the game. It also encourages a lot more discussion and interaction between players, discussing tactics etc, which makes it a very social game. If all that appeals to you then YES, it's a good game for adults.

Yes. I play it regularly with three other adults. There's no down time because everyone has input into what other players are doing during their turn, hence the "co-op" nature of the game. You all figuratively win or sink together. Just don't let anyone be bossy! Enjoy!

It's okay, but there are better choices. We often play in a group of 25-35 yr. olds and typically use this game as an introduction to people who haven't played cooperative games before. It doesn't have enough meat to it for any real lasting power. Forbidden Desert has been more fun for us, as well as the usual Pandemic suggestion.

Yes. My girlfriend and I like playing it because it is quick to learn and can be played in about 30-40 minutes. If you like Forbidden Island and want to advance to another, more complex co-operative game, then I recommend Pandemic. Pandemic and Forbidden Island have the same creator and are both very fun games.

Yes and no. It is a fun and easy game. The replay value is good because the board and characters change. Unfortunately, most adults will outgrow this game. Since the game mechanics are so easy to learn, it's a great game to get into collaborative gaming or for playing with younger children.

I'm an adult, and I really liked it. check out Tabletop on Youtube http://youtu.be/DxG_ahmF1uM and you'll see how the game is played.

It says 7 to adult. But if seems to be more complicated than what a 7 year old could play. More like teens through adults would be better.

Looked at this game in stores and at reviews online. It looks like it can be fun for youth up to adult. Kind of a combo of sports, and video game (sort of) along with actual movement required to get the activity level up. At least that is our hope. No more hands-on experience available though--ours is still in the box.

We purchased it for our 8year old daughter who had difficulty at 1st but is now shooting arrows with no problem. That being said, I tried it when she first got it and it was difficult for me to shoot it and I am a 40+ active female. It is good quality so I would say yes it is good for an adult starting out.

We have played it with adults, children, and a mix. You can change it up pretty easily, depending on how involved you want the game to be. It's fast playing and chaotic. More luck than skill so you don't have to really concentrate to play the game - definitely not bridge!

If you have not played a dungeon and dragons style game before than I would say it will take a while to learn. As in several hours. But it is a lot of fun to play so if people don't mind investing time and playing then get it. It is a lot of fun with ADULT humor. Not horrible adult humor but it is aimed for adults.

Castle Panic is a great game for a small group of adults to play. I suggest you checkout the Tabletop episode for Castle Panic on YouTube.

Yes it is fun and appropriate for adults. It's like charades with a time limit.

Oh yes, we are a family of adults who play, our grandson who is 6 will usually play with us but we simplified some of the rules so he could play on his own. This is a strategy game that is not too intense. I would say 8 - 12 is a good beginning age but we have fun playing this as a group of 20 to 60 year olds.

Any adults who are well-read, well-versed. There is tremendous trivia, events, and popular expressions that would be lost on this younger generation. A very fun game; women do better than men.

Yes, this is good for people of all ages! It's a very fun game! You're basically trying to save humanity, so anyone is welcome to try!

I think adults can enjoy all the Lego games. They're fun and easy to pickup and play or put down and walk away if something comes up. The Lego games also have great themes like Batman, Marvel, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones. I recommend any of these series of Lego games for kids and adults.I personally didn't enjoy the Lego Harry Potter games but they aren't a whole lot different than these others I've listed, so if you like Harry Potter you'll probably like that one too.

No you can teach yourselves. My son (25) and his wife (24) play almost every night. There are always online forums if you need help. I would recommend this game. My husband I play this game as well and we are 50ish. I recently purchased my son some expansions...that is how much he likes it!

I think it's perfect for young & old alike. Especially if u bought more sets or larger sets. I've had no problem getting it to stand up (as Donna had complain of) & the fun part about this is, it can be won by children as well as adults. Often, family games can give adults an edge but if u teach children to move slowly & think about there moves...they can easily be the winner. Gr8 learning tool for children that may be a bit too hyper. Teaches them to slow down & think!!! Hope this helps! :)

I think so - I'm in my late 40s, and I play this game with other adults in the same age range. The game rewards strategy and cooperation and is in no way childish.

It does ok for an adult. If you are aproaching 200 lbs you need to give it a chance to get up to speed. It is much better on level ground, uphill is going to have it's issues with top end. Overall it can be a lot of fun if you don't have expectations that are unrealistic for what you are paying for. All in all it is a lot of fun, well worth the price.
