Product description : GALERAPAGOS

After your ship sinks, your group of survivors finds themselves on a desert island where water and food are scarce. The only solution to escape this nightmare is to build a large raft together to take the survivors on board, but time is running out because a hurricane is looming on the horizon…

Each turn, the shipwrecked players will have to choose one of four actions: fishing, collecting water, looking for wood or searching the wreck of the ship.
Team up to survive but be prepared to sacrifice your comrades in the event of a shortage.
A nearly cooperative game where you will have to be as deceitful as diplomatic to guarantee yourself a place on the return trip!!

Principle of the game

In this cooperative game, each turn takes place in a strict order. First, the change of the first player. Except in the first turn, the first player card will pass into the hands of the person to the right of the player who had it in the previous turn. Then a weather card is drawn, this is used when collecting water. Indeed, when a bright sun shines it is impossible to collect water. After that, it is the players’ turn, they will be able to perform one of the four possible actions.

Catch a fish.

To catch a fish, the player will have to draw a ball from the bag and advance the food token according to the number of fish indicated on it.

Collect water

Unless it is bright sunshine, it is possible to advance the water token according to the number indicated on the weather card.

Collect wood and build the raft

The player must advance the wood token one step and decides to draw (or not) one or more additional balls from the bag. If the black ball does not appear, the player can move forward as many squares as balls drawn, otherwise he will be bitten by the snake and will be poisoned.

Search the wreck

The player draws a wreck card and adds it to his hand.

Last step, the survival of the castaways. You will have to count the water and food. Starting with the water, you will have to move the pawns back by the same number as there are players. Be careful, if there is not enough water or food, a vote will be held to see who will survive. To win the game, you must have left the island alive before drawing the hurricane card from the weather deck.
