FIGHT TO SURVIVE
Your mission to recover a legendary flying machine has just been thrown into chaos. An unexpected sand storm has forced your helicopter to make a crash landing. Now, stranded in the vast desert and exposed to an unrelenting storm, your only hope for survival is to quickly excavate the ancient city, find the parts to the flying machine, and rebuild it to escape.

WIN OR LOSE, WORK TOGETHER
In order to survive your team must work as one. Forbidden Desert is a co-operative board game designed for 2–5 players. Share water and equipment and collaborate to plan the best strategy for victory.

OVERCOME THE ODDS
An unrelenting storm, disastrous sand dunes, and a blistering desert sun — Forbidden Desert is an incredibly challenging board game that will test the limits of your team's skill. Does your team of adventurers have what it takes or will you become another artifact of the Forbidden Desert?

Excellent but novice level too hard

Superb game for iPad but gap between beginner level and novice level far too great as storm meter set too high. Hope this is remedied soon. Update. Finally succeeded on novice level after 30 goes quite a challenge but great fun. After 10 years of playing IPad games my top games are now Forbidden Island, Forbidden Desert, Four Winds (proper Mahjong), Pandemic, Virtual Pool 4 (great snooker option), and the old favourites Cluedo and Monopoly. They are all very well made and challenging and help exercise my brain in retirement!!! Many Thanks

Great game, great port to digital

This is a great game, just as well implemented as Pandemic. There is a good tutorial which takes you half way through a game and challenges you to complete. I have failed miserably a few times, but that it the point at the moment! It's definitely challenging juggling resources and the elements. It plays out very much like Pandemic in a different setting, but that is not a bad thing. Up to 5 player local coop or play the, all yourself. Well worth the asking price :)

Edit: there is a clear (large) link to the tutorial and rules on the start screen. I think the reviewer who gave 1 star should qualify that if you are the type of user who misses the flashing tutorial link, then doesn't read the rules - then you can enjoy 5 hours of being a numpty and not enjoy the game. All others are welcome and should enjoy :)
