Overview: You are the chieftain of a kingdom (your placemat) with up to five villages (rows). You buy or go to the islands to get place tiles that you put in your villages. There are five rounds and you get a decreasing amount of resources each round with which to acquire place tiles. Its a many-paths-to-victory kind of game.

There are three kinds of resources: 1) Feet - let you move around the board, or travel to the islands or go to the cove to catch fish. 2) Clam shells - let you buy place tiles from the board 3) Fruit - can be used in place of feet or clam shells in all-or-nothing fashion. If you substitute for feet, you must substitute the entire moving cost. If you substitute for clams, you must substitute the entire purchase price.

Moving: Your chieftain start at the beach and it costs nothing to return there from the board. Each movement in from the beach costs one foot. Moving up, down, right, left or diagonal on the board costs one foot per space. Staying on a space costs one foot.

To go to the islands, you use your boats and feet. The closest island costs three feet and the farthest costs six. You have to have the feet as well as the space on the boats for the feet. You get an immediate victory point bonus for going to the islands but you do not get a price token (more about that later). Also, you get the level 2 version of whatever place tile or item you are getting on the islands.

For instance, to go to the six foot island, you would need either: A) two three-feet boats and six feet resources or B) you would need the four-foot boat (which comes with a prepaid foot) and the two-foot boat as well as five feet resources. That is the advantage of the pre-paid foot on the four-foot boat.

Purchasing:

To buy some thing from the board: Select the price token (round colored circle with number inside) on the space with the place tile or item you want. If there is more than one place tile available on that space, you will be given a choice of which one you want. The movement cost will be in feet and the purchase price will be in clam shells but you can substitute either or both with fruit if you have it. You gain the price token for the round. There must be an available price token in order to purchase something from that space.

You can pay double to get the level 2 version, which for most tiles is double effect.

You place it in the village (row) of your choice. You must be able to place it in order to purchase it.

A) You can only have one of each type of place tile in each village. For instance, you cannot have a foot (1) hut and a foot (2) hut in the same village but you can have a coconut fruit (1) tree and a breadfruit (2) tree in the same village. B) You can have only one god in each village. You can only have one of each type of god in your whole kingdom and the god vp effects are kingdom-wide. B) Each village must begin with a hut. The huts have a picture of a hut on them: foot hut, clam hut, spear hut, exchange hut, and long hut.

Round-End VP's:

There is a large sheild on the round indicator at the bottom. If the sum of price tokens and fish are greater than the number on the sheild, then you get a bonus. There is a large bonus for the player with highest sum score, a moderate bonus for the second highest and a token bonus for everyone else whose sum was greater than the sheild. Surfer place tiles lower the sheild value for qualifying for the bonus but surfers do not contribute to your sum when comparing to other players.
