    Common to all the games is classed characters (healer type, explorer type, etc) and what I think of as “hard coop” in that if any one player dies, everyone loses

    Island I think is the simplest of the four so far, collect the things and escape before the island sinks

    Desert is the one I play the most, I think the running out of sand and sun exposure mechanics adds a fun increase in complexity

    both Island and Desert have at least iOS versions that are really good, my only wish is for online multiplayer

    Sky is challenging, they actually stopped printing it because of this (I got a copy off eBay). The core mechanic centers around the orientation of tiles based on their pattern, but there are some subtleties that made me think I was missing pieces originally (A+ support staff). That said, it also comes with a really cool little rocket figure that lights up

    Jungle I’ve played the least, I think it’s only been out a little over a year now? Yes, there are aliens and hatchlings that turn into aliens and one of the mechanics involves moving them. It’s interesting, I still haven’t quite got the hang of it yet
