[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 7273709, member: 46713"] C'mon it's not _that_ hard! Admittedly, scenario 5 (Cannibal Island) is really tough, but the first four scenarios are quite beatable. I actually consider the first scenario (Castaways) to be rather easy, now. While I failed in my first two (solo) attempts, all of the next five attempts (2 solo, 2 with 2 players, 1 with three players) were successes. Imho, the key is to craft the hatchet as early as possible. Make sure to play the explorer to increase your chances of discovering the required mountain tile. The second scenario (Cursed Island) is easy once you realize that the sacred bell is a 'trap'. I failed five times before I realized this. Once I decided to just build thoses crosses, it was rather easy. I'd recommend to play a carpenter. In the third scenario (Jenny needs help) I was probably a bit lucky. I just made it with my first attempt. Scenario 4 (Volcano Island) can be tricky because you need to be on the move all the time. I think it's easiest with the Explorer. Scenario 5, as mentioned above, is really, really hard; at least when playing solo. It should be a lot easier with more players, but I didn't get to try it yet. You should definitely have a soldier in your team, though. I haven't yet attempted scenario 6 since I have yet to beat scenario 5... Anyway, I think Robinson Crusoe is an awesome game. Don't let the difficulty deter you. It's also one of the few games that works well at any player count and the number of players makes a real difference, because you have to adapt your strategies accordingly. E.g. hunting is completely irrelevant in a solo game but crucial with four players. [/QUOTE]
