Doodle Islands

Players take the roles of ship captains exploring an archipelago in search of gold and adventure. Each turn, black and white dice identify a grid cell, and players choose a die result before drawing a line connecting two sides of that cell. Lines can link sea monsters to existing routes and connect islands to towers for points; occupied spaces require crossing out rum bottles instead. Rounds continue until a player reaches a scoring threshold or crosses out all their rum bottles. Players then score connected monsters, islands, and pirate ships, with additional adjustments based on the number of rum bottles crossed.
