Description

Explore the heart of these newly discovered islands, seek out natural resources and the temples of an ancient civilization, and bring back wealth and prestige for your clan from these many islands: the Small Islands.

Small Islands is a tile-placement game in which you are daring explorers discovering a magnificent archipelago. A game is played in maximum 4 Rounds. At the beginning of each round, each player secretly picks an Objective Card. In turn, players draw and place Landscape Tiles as they explore the islands. Once a Ship Tile is placed, all players place Houses on the islands and earn Prestige Points according to their Objective. In Advanced Mode, objectives are split into 2 types of cards which allows you to create your own objectives from many possible combinations. There is also a Solo Mode, with innovative mechanics and an AI with personality and different behaviors.
