Fast forward to 2016 and publisher Portal Games smartly decides to update the game with a 2nd edition. Promising a clear rulebook and upgrade components to go along with its deep gameplay, many fans were eager to try out this second edition. Stefano wrote: We once died by killing a dodo, because the one player that was at risk of drying didn’t have a morale token. So we killed a dodo, our cook died of sadness and we all followed him into the grave! The weight comes from a classic set-up of too much to do in too little time. Characters need food to survive from the off, but they’ll need other things too as the game progresses. Shelter from the weather, tools and inventions to make life easier. To do most of these, and to work toward victory, you’ll need to spend time gathering resources first. You can’t do it all, sacrifices will have to be made and characters will suffer through a simple but effective rule stating that any shortfall in resource requirements must be paid in wounds. If anyone accumulates enough to die, it’s game over.

While Robinson Crusoe comes with 8 different scenarios, each of which have their own special rules and win condition, the core of the gameplay flows much the same.
