About this game

Everyone gets an identical island board and tile set. One player draws tiles randomly and announces them; everyone places the same tile simultaneously on their own board, creating paths from explorers on the beach to temples in the jungle. Place tiles to build efficient routes or discard them to move your explorers along existing paths. First to reach each temple claims the best treasure. The simultaneous play means zero downtime, and identical tile sets mean the winner earned it through better placement decisions. Spiel des Jahres nominated tile-laying race.
