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.
Who it's for
Players who enjoy a neat, medium-light tile-laying puzzle with a pleasant island theme.
Not for you if…
You want deep strategy or lots of direct conflict, since this stays gentle and puzzly.
Vibe's take
Compact and quietly tactical, a clean tile puzzle with light jostling over the shared pool, sharpest at two.
