1001 Islands

Players act as descendants of a famed sailor, exploring islands by drafting and placing tiles to build a personal island tableau over 16 rounds. Each turn the active player draws a number of tiles equal to the player count, keeps one to place on their board or into their dream collection, and passes the remaining tiles to a chosen opponent; the recipient of the final passed tile must start the next round. Scoring compares dream tiles to visible island features, awards points for palms and matched Rukh birds with their eggs, and penalizes bandits and certain magic-lamp penalties that force tile flips and potential point loss.

    6 adult rating, probably a 7 or 8 kid rating. My 6 year old needs to be helped to figure out some of the goals, but he can help add up his score. He asks to play :)
