Eureka! This strange island's fascinating flora and fauna are unlike any you’ve ever seen! How… odd!
As an intrepid investigator of all things idiosyncratic, your job is to explore the island and document these fantastic creatures. On your turn, explore by placing a terrain card somewhere on the island (with the ability to cover up previous terrain!).
Then, place one of your seven flora or fauna tokens on the card you’ve just played. These tokens score based on their surroundings; for example, the pigehorse scores better in large swathes of desert where it can run free!
Every Turn Matters
With only seven turns, you'll need to maximize every placement. Can you improve another meeple's score while you set up your next? Can you read your opponent's next move and get in their way? Did the table forget about the meeple you placed on turn one, giving you a huge opportunity to improve it later?
High Player Interaction
Players can invest a lot of turns into a specific scoring condition. You might find a way to score big points with the surrounding tiles without them realizing. Alternatively, you can look for clever ways to block them!
Solo Mode Scoring Puzzle
In the solo mode, you have all the time in the world to optimize each creature's placement. Test every combination and go for the high score!
