Never the same island twice

Two hundred islands are drawn and scored for every game, and the highest-scoring one is kept.

A hand-painted island of irregular tiles with roads, settlements, harbours and ships, seen from above at an angle.A second island of a different shape, showing that every game's board is generated anew.

Five resources and a desert heart

Roll a tile's number and it pays every building on its corners. The bandit starts on the desert.

  • Wood

    Roads and settlements

  • Sheep

    Settlements and cards

  • Wheat

    Feeds every city

  • Brick

    Roads and settlements

  • Ore

    Three per city

  • Desert

    Yields no harvest

A court deck of its own

Buy a card for sheep, wheat and ore. Play one a turn, never in the turn you bought it.

Court cards
Court cards by name

Knight

Move the bandit and take a card from a player there who holds one. Counts towards the Grand Army.

20 in the deck of 40, 28 in the deck of 53.

Three awards, two points each

Each is held by one player or by nobody. A challenger needs more, and a tie changes nothing.

  • Grand Army

    Most knights played, at least 3.

  • Grand Road

    Longest stretch of road, at least 5 edges.

  • Harbour Warden

    Most harbour points, at least 3. A city counts double.

Tables of two to six

Host a table and share its six-digit code, or join the queue for a table of four. The host sets the island, the pace and the target, from 6 to 20 points.

Nobody waits on a phone

At the standard pace, a candle burns through the last 20 seconds of an idle turn. A phone that goes dark is waited for, then played around.

  1. 45 s

    of quiet

    No clock shows while you play.

  2. 20 s

    of candle

    A touch puts it out.

  3. 3 + 3 min

    turn cap and bank

    A quick turn earns bank time back.

  4. 2 min

    for a dropped phone

    Then your turns are skipped.

Made for a phone held sideways

One finger pans, a pinch zooms, and nothing is built on a stray tap.
