Lost Island and Secret Valley are two award-winning small box board games originally from Argentina designed by Martin Oddino that will be brought to English audiences from the design and publishing team at Rock Manor Games!
Simple Rules + Challenging Gameplay = BIG fun for everyone!
The Lost Island is a unique puzzly roll-and-write game for 1-4 players that plays in about 30 minutes where you attempt to draw the most accurate map of the mysterious Lost Island. Players take on the role of cartographers who dare to explore and map the island. Different story cards are mixed and matched making every game different and exciting.
Simple Rules: Roll the dice and choose a territory type to draw. Draft one die to determine how many hexes to fill in. The remaining dice are left for the other players, who each independently pick one of those two results. Finally, all players simultaneously draw the chosen territory type on their own maps trying to maximize the scoring opportunities on the story cards.
The Secret Valley is a unique drafting and tableau-building card game for 2-4 players where you play a clan venturing into new lands. The game is played over 3 rounds and takes about 30 minutes. Each round, you draft territory cards to your hand and then on your turn, play a card to the shared communal tableau representing the discovered valley.
Back now on Kickstarter and get the 15 card Machaqa expansion for FREE! It adds solo rules and 3 new territories to add tons of variety to the core game.
Simple Rules: The game is played over 3 rounds. Each round starts with a drafting phase. Players are dealt a hand, keep one card, and pass the rest, repeating until all cards are taken. On your turn, play 1 card to the tableau and place one of your clan tokens on it, adjacent to a card already there. Position cards carefully based on their Scoring Criteria. At the end of each round, score all the cards you played.
