Players assist an explorer on voyages to chart and settle newly discovered islands. A modular board of island tiles forms the map; ships move through this map to land, plan and build settlements that generate resources and victory points. Actions are determined by dropping colored cubes into a vertical tower: cubes correspond to different action types and may become stuck or dislodge others, creating a changing set of available actions. Players balance short-term tactics with long-term strategy, manage trading routes, invest in cannons against pirates, and acquire progress tokens to gain special abilities.
