Small Islands is a tile-placement game in which you are an explorer discovering a beautiful archipelago. The islands are full of natural resources, but also with temples of an ancient and mysterious civilization. Brave adventurers, bring wealth and prestige back to your clan!

A game is played in a maximum of 4 rounds. At the start of each round, each player secretly chooses a target card. On your turn, players draw and place a landscape tile from the 5 available tiles. At some point another option becomes available: placing a ship tile. When this tile is placed, all players take turns placing houses on the islands and earning prestige points according to their goal. Then the players start a new round. When the game ends, players receive extra points for their ship tiles.
