About the game
Hey everyone! Ready for another dose of hardship on the Cursed Island? The 'Poachers' scenario is that expansion you didn't know you needed, but it'll keep you glued to the table. Originally created by a fan and now distributed by Portal Games itself, this scenario brings an extra challenge for those who already find Robinson Crusoe a walk in the park (cough cough).

The catch here is that you'll need a good grasp of English (or Polish, if that's your thing) and, more importantly, a solid translation of the rules and cards. It's not just about adding new pieces! This scenario demands total immersion, so get your notebook and pen ready to keep track of the new troubles that will arise. The goal is to add another layer of difficulty and novelty, testing your adaptability and survival skills against unexpected threats.

If you've already mastered the base game and are looking for that extra adrenaline rush, or simply love the complexity and theme of Robinson Crusoe, 'Poachers' might be the spice you've been missing. It's one of those scenarios that makes you sweat, but the reward of overcoming the challenge is immense. Think about it: more exploration, more dangers, and more stories to tell from your own private island. Ready to face this new adventure?
