The Island of Treacherous Treasure rewards players who can mix caution and daring. Decide how long to build the strength of your adventurer party as you explore the coast and gain vital information on the treacherous treasures, timing your expeditions into the island's heart to grab the treasure from under your rivals' noses. As you explore the island you'll reveal traps and monsters and the treasures they guard. Build and upgrade your party from the game's 13 unique adventurer cards, mixing their skills and strengths to give yourself an edge in your dangerous quest. Once all the treasure has been plundered you'll discover who's holding the treacherous treasure and has been destroyed - although you may already know if you've explored for enough clues. Whoever is left alive with the most treasure is the winner. —description from the designer
