You just landed on an amazing island far away from the noise of the empire. Now it’s up to you to start your own empire. But wait, there are other settlers that have also landed and want to try to claim the land for their own. Time to roll the dice, collect the essential supplies, gather resources, and gain more settlers.

In this 2-4 player roll and write game, players take the role of settler planning to start their own empire on an island. You roll the 6 dice and choose one to place your resources on a plot of land. You can choose to place either Food, Wood, or Stone. Unlike the majority of roll and writes, each player takes turns to choose one dice and utilize the value on the chosen die.

You score points by connecting 3 resources of the same type. Any unused resources go to the Waste area and you lose points for those. The player with the highest points wins. So carefully plan your island empire and beat the others.
