Who it's for

Not for you if…

Vibe's take

Compact and quietly tactical, a clean tile puzzle with light jostling over the shared pool, sharpest at two.

About this game

You're an explorer sailing the islands of Polynesia, moving your ship and discovering tiles to lay onto your personal board. Palms, huts, shells and boats each score in their own way, and once someone fills their board, the game winds to a close. A tidy, quietly clever tile-laying game.
