About this game

Settle a newly discovered archipelago across two phases: first by boat, then on foot from your established villages. Blue Lagoon is a Knizia area-control game where you place tokens to form networks across islands, collect resources, and claim majorities. The two-phase structure forces you to build strategically in phase one since only villages survive into phase two. Simple rules, deep spatial competition, and beautiful production make this an accessible masterclass in territory games.
