Forbidden Desert
I played this coop game, in which you have to put together your weird steam dirigible and get out of the desert before you die of thirst or get buried in the sand. It's a retheme of a retheme, but it goes far enough away from what Forbidden Island that it actually comes out a lot better. The main thing is that it doesn't depend on several decks of cards, which always bothered me that you can get hurt by bad draws several times. The change to having your actions depend on finding certain locations instead of just collecting cards makes the game feel more proactive. I also like how the game board keeps shifting. "Okay, I'm going to walk over to you...if the sandstorm doesn't carry me away and bury me in sand." So it's a cool game, and apparently I have nothing coherent to say about it.
