Product Description
Many moons have come and gone since your boats departed on the journey to Karuba. Once you arrive on the island, each player will lead an expedition team of four adventurers. Now you just have to navigate your way through the dense jungle to make it to the temples. „Just“ may be something of an understatement; the ancient jungle trails have to be found and uncovered first! Hurry up and be the first to reach the temples to collect the most valuable treasures. Many paths have dead ends and you need to be patient to find the right/best way (through the jungle). Look! A gold nugget! You can pick it up and collect it, same applies to the shiny crystals along the paths.
Adventurer and temple
Before each game, players cooperatively decide where to place their adventurers and temples.
Each island should have all the adventurers and temples placed in exactly the same positions; in other words all of the islands must look the same before the game. Place the adventurers on the numbers on the beach and place the temples on the numbers in the jungle.
Each player chooses an adventurer and places it on any number on the beach. Next, place the temple of the same color on a number in the jungle, (a minimum of 3 numbers distance between an adventurer and temple of the same color). All of the other players then place their adventurers and temples of the same color on these numbers as well. (All adventurers and temples are set up in this way, so that in a three-player game, one player determines the position of two adventurers and two temples, whereas in a two-player game both players decide twice.
A. LAY TILE ON THE ISLAND
◆ You may only lay tiles on free fields.
◆ The tile must be placed so that the number is in the upper left hand corner of the tile.
◆ Tiles do not have to be placed next to other tiles, but placed be laid on any field in the island grid.
◆ You may create paths where tiles without paths border each other and thereby lead to a dead end. (See image)
◆ If a tile with a crystal or gold nugget is uncovered, everyone takes the appropriate item from the middle of the table and places it on this tile. At the end of the game you will receive points for crystals and gold nuggets collected by your adventurers during the play.
B. DISCARD TILE AND MOVE ADVENTURER
If you discard a tile, you can move an adventurer. This is how your adventurers collect gold and crystals, and how they reach the temple of the same color.
◆ For each discarded tile, you may move an adventurer as many steps, in any direction, as there are paths leading to the edge of the discarded tile (you may move 2, 3 or 4 steps, depending on the discarded tile).
◆ A step is always one tile forwards.
◆ Adventurers may only move along the paths.
◆ Only one adventurer may occupy each tile, and leaping over them is not allowed.
◆ At intersections adventurers may turn in any direction.
◆ Movement points may not be distributed amongst several adventurers.
◆ Movement points may be forfeited.

Learning the rules are simple. There is some set up to each game as players may want to lay out all their titles in numerical order. It's a great play experience as every one is puzzling their way through the map. There is not a lot of player interaction meaning that you can't affect other players which is great for younger or newer players that may not like direct competition. Overall, a great gaming experience for families.
-You're all playing your own board concurrently, so no waiting for turns and game goes faster
-It's not annoyingly addictive where you're getting constantly hassled to play, but you do want to play a few times in a sitting because it's really fun! You could probably play 3 or so times in around an hour.
-If you have one younger player they can be the expedition leader (draws the cards for the whole group)
-Great for casual and serious board game people
-Pieces and boards are sturdy/quality made
Love this game, played it at a friend's get together and have since bought it for myself and gifted it 3 times!
I bought the game for a gift for a friend who wants me to learn the games and teach them as part of the gift. But one of the temple tokens made it into the laundry and didn't survive. Since the game was a gift I really wanted the original token. I found Haba's website and sent an inquiry to their company in Germany and they sent me a free replacement token! Thank you Haba!
