Forbidden Island does a great job of introducing players to cooperative play. If you have played Pandemic before, you probably don't need to purchase this game. If you have not, I would highly recommend purchasing to give you and your friends a great introduction to the basic mechanics. It would also be a great way to ease kids into more complicated game mechanics.

Also, it comes in a metal tin, which I wish more companies would do. While more of my cardboard boxes aren't holding up well, this one still looks great.

Merging sci-fi with religion might seem an odd combination, but this novel takes the approach what would happen if the Vatican had proof of extraterrestrial life, with that proof coming in the shape of two eloping aliens who have crash-landed in a small island of the coast of Ireland, just in time for the new Pope's Easter address when he is stumped for ideas.

While it raised a few smiles, it also unfortunately never really raised a chuckle or any deep profound thoughts: this, I found, to be the type of book to read, enjoy, and move on.
