Forbidden Island
When playing with 5 players the standard game becomes considerably more difficult because the treasure deck is refreshed so often (so the ‘waters rise’ cards keep coming up).
I tried out a 5-player game where I just removed one of the ‘waters rise’ cards from the treasure deck. It seemed to balance out quite well for beginner players (we were on flooding level 5 at the end) although I suspect it might make things very slightly too easy.
See also Okie’s tips above – they might be a little more subtle.
