PLAYED FOR YOU

ALLES GESPIELT

The Island

Sharks, Whales and treasures

The island is sinking and you must save your adventurers carrying treasures. The island is randomly laid out from beach, jungle and mountain tiles. You have ten adventurers of values from one to six, which you should memorize; because once the adventurers are placed you cannot check their values again before the end of the game.

In your turn you can - if available - play a land tile for an event, move ships and your adventurers for a total of three movement points, remove a land tile and then move a creature according to a die roll. Adventurers go from land tile into a ship or from land or ship into the water as swimmers. A land tile you sink must be adjacent to water, they are removed in the order beach - jungle - mountain and either yield events that are instantly resolved or you can keep them for further use. Events relate to sea creatures and ships or cause maelstroms or volcano eruption. Sea creatures destroy ships and swimmers; sharks eat swimmers and whales capsize boats but spare swimmers. If you have the majority in a ship you control its movements. A maelstrom destroys all pieces on the tile where it occurs and on all tiles adjacent to this new water spot. Adventurers who manage to reach one of the islands in the corners of the board are safe. When the volcano erupts the game ends and you win with most points from your safe adventurers.

Since 1982 this game has been re-published again and again, the attractive mixture of chance and tactics results in a nice family game; Shark, whale and sea monsters introduce a bit of mischief and you need a good memory for value and position of your adventurers.
