If you’re like me and isolating due to Covid, you’ve probably had to find new ways to play boardgames with friends. I’ve been playing boardgames online now with two groups of friends and one of our most frequent stops is Board Game Arena.

So I was happy to learn that Forbidden Island is now available to play on the platform, starting today. If you haven’t checked out BGA, have a look. They have many games that are free to play; other games require a premium membership, which will run you about $2 per month for unlimited use and it allows you to host games for others who don’t need to pay themselves.

I also found it fun to learn that Jeff DiCorpo implemented the game. Jeff’s local to the San Francisco Bay Area, and we’ve been gaming together on and off for many years. Thanks Jeff!
