¿Question #516?
Debate: Desert island games. What's your top 5?

BOBBYCAN: Panzerblitz wasn't made by them, sorry.
xofour: The only one I know is Friday, and I haven't played it, but I would love to try, because i heard it's a solo. I'd also like to try bora boar but even though it's islandic, I don't think it counts as desert.
senorcoo: I don't think I have a top 5, but would Catan count? If so, that's my #1.
toh!: Rette Sich Wer Kann ("how did we get here?"), Through the Desert ("where are we going?"), Waterworks ("Is there anything less salty to drink?"), Monster Island ("Do you think anyone else lives here?"), Lord of the Flies ("What usually happens in these cases?")
Woelf: Survive! and Settlers of Catan are both islands, but neither is a "desert island". I suppose some of the islands in PotSM could be desert islands.
aleo09: don't have a list handy.
GrimJester: Survive! is one of them. Another is "Eton Red Cross Emergency Crank AM/FM/Shortwave Radio w/Flashlight & Cell Charger". For purposes of this answer that's a game.
