You play as explorers discovering a mystical and unknown island. Your goal: Explore the island, complete your personal and hidden objectives while proposing a correct cartography of the island to earn maximum points. A central board representing the island is installed in the center of the table while each player receives his personal map in order to transcribe his discoveries on the island. On each game turn, the players choose 2 actions among these: Move his Explorer pawn on the central board. Discover new terrains close to your Explorer pawn (players must choose from 4 randomly drawn tiles) Claim control of areas. A type of terrain must be explored twice before being validated. The unvalidated terrains types on the central board can change and your personal map will not match anymore with the central board. Everyone plays on the same central board, matching it to our own map will be central to the gameplay and will trigger a lot of interactions between players. You will have to find the ideal balance between your personal objectives, and a correct cartography of the island. —description from publisher
