## Description
Imagine the scene: you and your friends have just shipwrecked on a deserted island, and your only chance of getting home is a boat held by chains. The catch? The boat's owner was an eccentric fellow who turned the entire island into one giant puzzle. To free the vessel and escape this forgotten paradise, you'll need keen observation, logical reasoning, and, of course, teamwork. 

'EXIT: The Game – The Forgotten Island' isn't your average board game; it's a tabletop Escape Room simulation. This means you won't just move pieces around; you'll interact with the components in unexpected ways. Get ready to fold, cut, and mark the cards, as the experience is visceral and linear. The goal is simple: solve the puzzles to get the boat's key before time runs out. 

The dynamic is cooperative, making communication your most vital tool. If someone notices a tiny detail in an image, it could be the missing piece for the next step. It's the kind of game that makes you feel like a genius when you crack a tough riddle, but it can also leave the group scratching their heads for half an hour over a single detail. It's perfect for those who want the adrenaline of an escape room without leaving home, with the caveat that once solved, the game is disposable—you can't play it again since the solutions are permanent. It's a unique journey of discovery and tension that tests the group's synergy under pressure.

## FAQ
### Can I play it more than once?

Basically just a pair of scissors and maybe a pen, but most of everything is included in the box.

### Is it very difficult?
It has a medium/high difficulty level. If you get stuck, there are hints available to prevent frustration.

Usually between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on how quickly you solve the riddles.

### Is it recommended for Escape Room beginners?
Yes, it's a great entry point, but be prepared to think 'outside the box'.
