Islet

In Islet, you play tropical birds looking to nest on a small islet in the middle of the ocean.

During the game, you will collectively explore the islet to collect materials, while competing to create the best nests to lay eggs and thus ensure the continuity of your species.

On each of your turns, you can choose to explore the islet to receive resources or position yourself to create the perfect nests in which to lay your precious eggs.

In this way, together, as well as in competition, they will build a tropical islet with different biomes, and whoever lays all their eggs on the islet first will be the winner.

How to play:

Whoever touched an egg most recently starts the game.

From that player onwards, the turns follow each other clockwise. On your turn, you must take an EXPLORATION or MOVE action.

When you EXPLORE, you place 1 to 4 tokens from your reserve, expanding the islet, and you receive resources in return.

When you MOVE, you can ADVANCE your pawn and LAY (place eggs) as many times as you wish and in any order and combination, as long as you can pay the required resource cost.

The end of the game can be triggered in two different ways:

•      When a player PLACES his last egg, his turn ends as usual and then the current round ends (so everyone plays the same number of turns).
•      When a player takes the last island token from the bag, the current round ends and a new round is played (so that everyone plays the same number of turns).

In either case, the player who placed the most eggs wins the game.
