Matt Leacock, designer of the massive hit cooperative game Pandemic, will release a new game called Forbidden Island through Gamewright in February. Fans of the earlier game will notice Matt’s signature in the new one: player characters, each with a special ability, have to find and retrieve four treasures from an island before the island sinks.
From Gamewright we can expect the game to get a wide distribution. And the MSRP is set to only $16.

Sounds like my own unpublished boardgame “Lost Island”, but with cheaper pieces. (The hexes in my game made it too expensive to pursue!)
Thanks for the tip off! The low price point on this makes it very tempting…
