Small Islands
Explore a newly discovered archipelago and develop it by placing landscape and ship tiles to form islands. Each round players secretly choose an objective, then draft and place tiles from a shared pool (or place a ship tile) to create land, temples and resources. When a ship is placed, players add houses and score prestige based on their chosen objective; the game runs for up to four rounds and awards endgame points for ship placement patterns. Advanced mode splits objectives into two types for custom goal combinations. A solo variant uses an AI-driven opponent with distinct behaviors.
