Small Islands is a tile placement game in which you, intrepid explorers, will discover a magnificent archipelago.
These small islands are full of natural resources but also temples of an ancient and mysterious civilization. Valiant adventurers, bring prestige and wealth back to your clan.
At the start of a Round, which consists of a maximum of 4, each player secretly chooses an Objective Card. This card indicates the objective to be achieved at the end of the Round and the Prestige Points that the player can earn.
Players take turns. On their turn, the player must do one of the following two actions:
Draw and place 1 Landscape Tile
Draw and place 1 Boat Tile
As the game progresses, the Landscape Tiles will form islands with Resources, Temples and Ports.
When a Boat Tile is placed, all players place Houses on the islands and gain Prestige Points according to the Objective Cards they chose at the start of the Round. Then the players start a new Round.
But be careful, a player can only place one of his Houses per island, so in the following Rounds the players will have to explore new islands.
When the game is over, players receive additional Prestige Points for their Ship Tiles.
The player with the most Prestige Points wins the game.
