Soar to dizzying heights in the electrifying cooperative adventure. Work as a team to explore a mysterious platform that floats at the center of a savage storm. Connect a circuit of cables to launch a secret rocket — all before you are struck by lightning or blown off to the depths below. It's a high-wire act that will test your team's capacity for courage and cooperation. One false step and you all could be grounded…permanently! This latest installment in the Forbidden... game series takes you to new heights with several novel challenges, including collectively planning a terrain using only limited information and constructing a real electrical circuit.

I enjoyed playtesting this at the 2017 Gaming Hoopla. Seemed interesting at the time, although everything was just cardboard, no actual circuits were created. The biggest point of confusion during playtesting was when lightning struck and figuring out if you were hit or not. After looking at the finished product, this is a pass for me. The platform tiles look pretty bad, and everything is very disjointed where you only have to connect up the spaghetti lines and not the actual platform so it looks weird. The gimmick of the circuit didn't actually even need to be produced. You could have just done it all with cardboard and lowered the price point. I suspect that's why the game is in a cardboard box and not a tin since it was cheaper, and the components are more expensive.

A bit fiddly with connections. Otherwise fun and different.

[Not buying] Really wanted this, but the components seems very gimmicky. I don't know anymore.
