This is one of the games featured in Dice & Ink: A Roll & Write Anthology, and exists as part of that compilation. In Islands of Atlantis, raise islands from the depths of the sea and populate them with as diverse a landscape as possible. Each instance of a land type you place will grant you Influence, which unlocks special powers and bonus points. Enclose sets of unique relics to grab extra points. Players will compete in this competitive game to build the best set of islands and score the most points; or play this game as a solitaire game, and try to beat your score. On your turn: Roll the dice, Choose one land die to determine what the size of your next piece of island will be And choose one power die to determine what the terrain of the next piece of island will be; Then draw the piece, either adding it to an island that has yet to see that type of terrain, or attach it to a matching section in an island that features the type of terrain. Each time you complete an island, you gain influence, which could get you some points if you try hard enough. Will you fill your sheet exactly and grab a bonus? At what cost will you raise the elusive perfect islands and collect bonus points? Islands of Atlantis requires two standard six-sided dice of one color, and three standard six-sided dice of another color. Components include one player sheet per player. —description from the publisher
