But FORBIDDEN DESERT-- man! It is a seriously hard game to win (we've won *once*). I much prefer it to ISLAND-- if I had to own only one, it'd be DESERT-- but ISLAND is fun too.

Interesting. (We've definitely managed to lose Island when the starting 
difficulty's turned up.) But that's definitely been on the To-Get list for a 
while. Pandemic's on there more vaguely, since we don't often get above three 
players available at once.
