Galapagos

Players explore an island in search of differently colored turtles, planning their routes while trying to stay ahead of the others. Each round, everyone rolls five color dice and arranges them to determine their movement. The first player to finish planning starts a sand timer, after which players move in turn across adjacent spaces matching their die colors, collecting turtles along the way. New turtles are added between rounds until all have been collected. A set of six differently colored turtles scores 8 points, while each other turtle scores 1 point. The player with the highest score wins.
