Setup
Gameplay Overview
On Your Turn
End of game
The game ends after 8 rounds (4 Day rounds + 4 Night rounds), then the game computes scores.
Scoring
You don't score anything during the game, but instead count different elements at the end :
- Progress Markers : Each of your Progress Markers scores between 0 and 10 points as indicated on the left of your Player Board row
- Outposts : You score between 1 and 10 points for your established Outposts :
| Number of Established Outposts | Points |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 3 |
| 3 | 6 |
| 4 | 10 |
- Island Symbols : Score Victory Points for each set of identical Island symbols shown on the Exploration Cards still in your hand ( Tiger / Elephant / Urn / Statue / Palm tree / Shell): Each symbol type scores between 1 and 15 points, depending on how many matching symbols you collected :
| Number of identical Island Symbols | Points |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 3 |
| 3 | 6 |
| 4 | 10 |
| 5 | 15 |
- Richest player : The player with the most money scores 3 points
- Tiles :
- Each tile with a specified score gives you those points, but if you also have the Foreman tile, you score 3 points instead of 1 for single-field Depots
- Be careful with the Duty tile (see page 18): it only grants its listed 5 points if you successfully fulfilled its requirement during the game (you will see a green check on it).
