Survive The Island: Monster Pack

A small but interesting/fun expansion, which provides mostly extra monsters, but they are largely a success. They can be used either to entirely replace the existing ones by colour, or can even be combined, so that a player can choose whichever they would like. The flying pterodactyls are much more fun than the comparitively boring sharks, and the kraken provide a fun tweak to the sea serpents, including a single tentacle attack! That said, the whales aren't generally great compared to the kaiju, but you might want to use them occasionally. You also get helpful play aids for the new monsters. Then there are some other fun things: eggs which hatch out, and piranhas which can establish a death zone in certain parts of the island (somewhat under player control). Both are fairly easy to use, and add to the general chaos, especially with a lot of players. They both do involve some fiddling with the tiles before use. I personally prefer to replace tiles at random rather than follow the suggestion of removing monsters. Anyway if you want to spice up the game, this is quite a good way of doing so. And all the stuff fits easily into the original box! Recommended, if at a reasonable price.

Bought for grandson’s birthday and he loved it as an add on to his game. He couldn’t wait to play it when he opened the gift! A definite thumbs up.

Great add on to a already great game

A fantastic extension. The added choice of creatures changes the game dynamic drastically and it keeps everything fresh. Play nice at your peril; this is game that requires you to be unashamedly ruthless - great fun.

Great little add on to the main board game.

Excellent product

really cool strategy, fun to play and great quality

Strategic family game. Kids ages 9-40 enjoy playing. We have all the expansion packs for it

Es gibt sogar eine tolle Erweiterung

Buen complemento para el juego base. 3 Monstruos que sustituyen a los 3 anteriores, aunque pueden mezclarse asegurando que siempre sean 3 por partida (uno de cada tipo). Los monstruos son un Pterodacilo que sustituye al tiburón, Ballenas que sustituyen a Kaiju y un Kraken que sustituye a las serpientes marinas. Además contiene un par de mini expansiones más, unas losetas de Piraña que cuando alguien levanta la primera se comen a cualquiera que este en la casilla y cada turno los jugadores pueden hacer más grande su territorio. Y el huevo, que permite colocar un huevo en alguna parte del tablero y hacer que surja de ahí un monstruo un turno después. Excelente. más allá del manual y una vez explicado, el idioma no se requiere para jugar. Todo lo de la expansión cabe perfectamente en la caja del juego base.

La expansión llegó a tiempo y en buen estado. Muy buena expansión para el juego original, agrega más dificultad.

Add's more life to the game. The old Whale is back (Meh). But now there is a Kraken which makes the whale more useful and the Sea Serpent less so. The Pterodactyl is the star. It moves through the air and avoid hazards and has unlimited distance. With its only drawback of 6 directions of movement (plenty) and can't occupy Kaiju or Volcano spaces. Shark is now relegated to neglect. Added Eggs (player chosen creature spawn) and new Piranha tiles (add a new hazard to an area) to spice up the game. Unfortunately, they didn't add a player expansion as well to make the game 6 player. Would have loved to have seen this. Since I play at my local library on a 48-inch round table with 6 other people. I never get the chance to play this game there. Overall, it's a great expansion and could have been amazing with a 6th player. More life and options are added to the game. Start of the chaos also beings sooner to avoid slow starts and early escapes.
