Everything is much clearer and it’s overall better written than the first edition. My suggestion is to get a copy of the second edition rulebook. There’s a lot to take in here and I won’t be able to go over everything. “But as abused prosperity is oftentimes made the very means of our greatest adversity, so it was with me.” ―Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe If you are a weirdo like me you’ll have various-sized baggies and tins ready to store all of the components because there’s really nothing in the box that helps with storage. AHHHHHH!! If you’re not a weirdo like me and box storage doesn’t bother you, then don’t worry about it. There’s just a generic big gaping hole in the middle of the box. The only problem I have with the components is the storage. Each character board is double-sided for male and female characters, so nobody feels left out. The character boards come on decent quality cardboard, so I’m not too worried about warping. The map is (surprisingly) only a small portion of what’s going on the board.Īll of the cards are nicely done and the artwork on everything is fantastic. The thing is huge and holds all of the trackers and spots along with the map. The board is bigger than you would think. Although I wouldn’t say it’s particularly easy to just pick up, it is much clearer and more organized than the First Edition. The rulebook, as I mentioned earlier, has been revamped too. They’re easily identified and add a fun flair to the game as the island tries to kill you. There are wooden resource tokens that come with the Second Edition and are a vast improvement over the First Edition. It’s been completely upgraded and republished by Z-Man Games. If you don’t have a copy yet, definitely look for a Second Edition copy. 52 Mystery cards (26 Treasures, 13 Monsters, 13 Traps).90 Adventure cards, 30 each for Building, Gather Resources, and Exploration action.
