Entdecker
Sail a blank ocean that fills tile by tile, planting settlements to claim the islands you help explore.
Who it's for
Fans of classic nineties Euros who enjoy tile-driven exploration, area majorities, and the tension of when an island will pay out.
Not for you if…
You want modern polish or streamlined rules. The dated pacing and luck of the tile draw can frustrate players used to tighter designs.
Vibe's take
An exploratory area-majority game full of timing bets, where an unfolding map keeps every island a race worth contesting.

About this game
Klaus Teuber sends you sailing across a blank ocean that fills in tile by tile as you explore. Draw and place sea tiles to grow islands, then pay to drop settlements, bases, and scouts on the emerging land. Finished islands reward everyone who invested, but the lion's share goes to whoever built the strongest presence.
