How it works

Six things to know before your first turn.

🎲

Roll the dice

You play with more than one die: cards let you roll again, double your highest die or roll three times for the highest throw.

♟

Move your two pawns

Your pawns move across the spaces of the islands. Sometimes you split your steps between them, sometimes both move the full number.

🌉

Bridges and blocks

Bridges and blocks decide where you can pass. With cards you turn or move a bridge and place, move or remove a block.

🃏

Play your action cards wisely

Take the helicopter to another island, swap a pawn with a block or send an opponent back the same number of steps. Timing is everything.

⭐

Take a privilege

Privileges give you an extra edge, such as playing two turns, doubling your steps, swapping two cards or taking the boat to another island.

💎

Collect the treasures

Every island has two treasures, from treasure chest to diamond and from fossil to souvenir. They appear on the treasure cards.
