Gigamic Hellapagos | Cooperative Party Game for Teens and Adults | Ages 10+ | 3 to 12 Players | 20 Minutes

This is one of the best games we have ever played! If you are a big fan of the TV show Survivor and you want to incorporate that into your game nights! This game plays quick and has a lot of different variations on how to play it! We have spent many hours playing this with our friends and family and every time we walk away with a smile on our face! this is the first game in my game bag every time without a doubt!

Haven't played yet because I, like the idiot I am, ordered it just as the pandemic started. If you're confused about the "great for large groups (up to 12 players)" thing, I've done extensive research, and it appears this means real people and not the empty void you talk to all day every day.Pros: The instructions are great. I've been reading them a few times a day since the lock down began 2,425 days ago. If you're worried about being bored once you've accidentally memorized them, you can still squeeze months of enjoyment out of the box. The artist really nailed the shading on the tropical leaves. If you stare at the box for severalhours without moving, you almost feel like you're on the beach with other people. Maybe it's a metal breakdown. Maybe it's a vacation to a tropical paradise that costs less than an antidepressant prescription. It's impossible to tell at this point.Cons: while part of me is giddily counting down the years until I can play this game with others, I'm a little hesitant to dive into an activity where you "work together to stay alive, but when supplies are running low, you may need to make some hard choices" and "team up to survive, but there's not enough for everyone: be prepared to sacrifice yourcompanions in case of shortage!"...ok? And? I thought this was a fun adventure game based on a fictional situation, but it just sounds like every single day in this pandemic nightmare. Is the whole game just taking trips to a grocery store with coughing senior citizens and dwindling supplies and seeing if you survive the trip? Haven't we been through this enough? This is all too much and I have no other choice but to seek comfort by staring at the box until dawn. The dawn of whatever day tomorrow is.

We recently played this game at an extended family birthday celebration. We all started out playing on the same team & for the good of the group. Then, times got tough on the island & secret strategies were being sewn. The ending was abrupt, loud, heated & quite hilariously entertaining for us all. All10 of us were laughing so hard & agreed it was was of the most fun group games we have played together. We can’t wait to play it again this summer at our big family reunion! Highly recommend for teens & adults who can play betrayal type games & come out laughing at the end. We came up with island style props & clothing to make it even more fun! Watch some videos online to get a feel for it & to help understand the instructions. Not too hard to understand, just lots of components that make the game interesting.

Very fun game that I've enjoyed playing with family and friends! The only downside is that it takes a little while to explain the rules, but once learned rounds are quick, fun, and exciting.

A lot going on... still haven’t played it just Not a game you can jump right into

We have played this game a bunch of times with the same group of people and it’s a new game every time. Lots of belly laughs, especially once the cooperative turns competitive. Highly recommend.

I bought this game because I had seen some of my favourite youtube channels play this game and wanted to play with friends. While the game is fun, my copy did not come with a Hurricane card, which is essential to the game.

We had a lot of fun playing this game, but to be fair it works much better with at least 6 people, then with a smaller group. It's super easy to explain to people, and a great first semi-collaborative game to play.
