In fact, don't get hung up on the deserted island thing. That's just a gimmick. If you like a game because it's fun to invite a couple of friends over to play with, then draft that game.
By the way, if anybody wants to chime in on 8 or 10 rounds, feel free. If we get more people I'll make it 8, but as of now we have 10 players so let me know if you'd like 8 or 10 rounds. I don't want to go down to 6 and 12 is too many, and it should be even to be fair.
