Forbidden Desert is about you and a bunch of other people crashing into a desert. Your ship parts were scattered around the desert when you crashed. You and the others must use your abilities as a navigator, archaeologist, water giver, climber, etc.
As you uncover clues and gear parts, the storm picks up and the sun beats down. You have four moves per turn and once your turn is over, then you use up one water level from your canteen. How much water you have varies on what job you have.
Once you uncover all the parts then you need to uncover the launch pad! Race to the launch pad and assemble your ship and take off before the storm buries you!
I love this game because my friends and I were playing and every turn we made was full of excitement and strategy!
