Die neuen ENTDECKER

The explorers sail the unknown ocean and discover small and big islands by laying out one or more tiles in their turn. Taking a tile from the face down stack costs 1 gold, a tile from the open stack costs 4 gold. One starts placing from the border of the board, starting in the south is free, starting in the west and east costs 1 gold, starting in the north costs 2 gold. Then the active player advances his ship and decides on placement of surveyors for 1 gold, base camps for 3 gold or settlements for 6 gold. A complete island scores one point for each tile for the strongest player there, and half and again half etc for every other player there according to their strength. Base camps and settlements are taken off the island, the surveyors enter the jungle and go to one of the 7 Chieftain huts, where there are more or less valuable treasures to be found. The first surveyor at a hut learns the value of the treasure there. When all tiles are placed, the surveyors in front of the hut are counted for majorities, a majority scores the treasure in the hut.
