What does Pacific 1942 SunRise change?

Firstly, there is a new goal. To win the basic version, you had to seize four islands in the Pacific. Now, the task becomes even more demanding: You have to push your enemy out of all islands. In the basic version, a player could seize an island and that was it. In Pacific 1942 SunRise, some islands can be turned into powerful bases. (See more below.) Apart from the new island tiles, the risk cards represent another extremely important novelty. At the end of his or her turn, every player can decide to take a risk card instead of producing a new battle unit. (The use of these cards is specified below.)

Eight new island tiles

Eight new island tiles comprise two sets of four tiles. Every player receives a set of four tiles. The new island tiles are of the following types:

  • A tile with a trench.
  • A tile with an airfield.
  • A tile with a harbour.
  • A tile with a fortress.

Risk cards There are 16 types of risk cards in the game. Before every game, they have to be thoroughly shuffled and placed with their face down.
