Pan's Island

Players take on the roles of adventurous characters exploring a magical island to locate five missing children before hostile pirates are encountered too often. Each player chooses a character with a special ability, secretly places one pirate and one Lost Child, and uses a hand of clue cards to hint at locations by placing them on another player’s relevance scale from “Exactly” to “Not at all.” Players interpret clues, move between island locations, and search areas cooperatively to find the Lost Children while avoiding pirates. At game's end, event cards alter the island’s layout and rules, changing difficulty and setup for subsequent plays.
