About the game
Ever imagined swapping the desperate struggle for basic survival for a Hollywood film set? This promotional scenario for Robinson Crusoe does exactly that! Instead of just trying not to starve, you and your group are now part of a movie crew attempting to film a blockbuster about a giant primate on a forgotten island. The catch? As with any Hollywood production, things spiral out of control very quickly. What seemed like a simple 'lights, camera, action' job turns into total chaos, where protecting the crew and capturing the monster become absolute priorities if you want to make it back home alive.

The scenario, known as 'The Deadly Adventure on King Kong Island', brings a very interesting vibe: it maintains the punishing difficulty and tension of the base game but seasons it with a dose of humor and pop culture references. It's the perfect blend of desperation and fun. It's worth noting that this content was originally released as a simple rule sheet, but the experience is complete and integrates perfectly with the base game's worker placement and dice-rolling dynamics. If you already own the GOTY (Game of the Year) edition, this scenario is already included, but for those with the original version, it's an essential add-on to vary the gameplay. Get your equipment ready, organize the crew, and hope that King Kong doesn't decide the film crew is his afternoon snack. It's a cooperative challenge where coordination is everything, and any mistake could mean the end of the production (and your lives).

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the base game to play?
Yes! This is just an additional scenario (a supplement), so you need the full board and components of Robinson Crusoe.
Is the game very difficult?
If you're familiar with Robinson Crusoe, you know the series is famously punishing. This scenario maintains that level but with a lighter, funnier tone.
How many people can play?
It follows the base game rules, supporting 1 to 4 players in cooperative mode.
How long does a session last?
Expect to spend between 60 and 120 minutes, depending on your dice luck and group coordination.
Does it come with King Kong miniatures?
No, it's a rule-based scenario. You use the base game components to represent the situation.
Is it suitable for beginners?
I wouldn't recommend it. It's an 'Expert' level game. Start with the base game's introductory scenario before facing King Kong.
