Build lighthouses together

Water voles are after the treasure hidden on Wally’s Island, the lighthouse keeps them off. But now it is broken and you need to build new lighthouses on the neighboring islands as quickly as you can. A finished lighthouse shows both island colors in four alternating layers and a small yellow light on top. Players lay out their islands, Wally’s Island is placed in the middle, and 8 sea tiles form a path next to it. Wally starts at the island with his picture and the vole boat in front of the first sea tile. You roll both dice: For one or tow boats you move the vole boat one step to the next sea tile. When both dice show a color you take the corresponding discs and place them on the respective islands, either your own or that of another player. If you cannot use use one or both colors, you move Wally von step for each unused color, from island to island. If he reaches or passes his starting island you can take a disc from stock and place it on an island. If you roll boat + color, you move the boat and then place the disc or move Wally; if you receive a disc from Wally you can place it on an island, if possible. When all lighthouses are finished before the voles reach the islands, all players win together. In a competitive version there are only three sea tiles and each player tries to finish his own lighthouses first; when the ship reaches the big island the active player can remove a disc from another player’s lighthouse. Completed lighthouses are safe!

An enchanting design, a very familiar and yet somewhat different topic - a harmonious cooperative assembling game, the difficulty can be varied by the number of sea tiles.
