Sommario delle regole
Game Overview
As explorers, we scout a mysterious island to discover rare creatures and settle them in our reserve. The game blends worker placement (crew members) with engine building (creature cards). The core mechanic is collecting icons on cards to fulfill scientific goals (Achievements).
Core Concept: Icons & Eggs
- Icons: Each card in your reserve shows icons (e.g., Magnifier, Paw). These are required for achievements but are not spent.
- Eggs: These act as wild icons. When used for an achievement, flip them to the "hatched" side (they stay in your reserve but lose their wild property).
Gameplay
On your turn, perform exactly 1 of these 4 actions:
1. Deploy Crew Member (Explore)
Place your crew member so it straddles the line between two hex tiles.
- Cost: Plains are free. Mountains cost 1 resource of your choice.
- Gain: From all adjacent habitats (hexes), you may EITHER take 1 resource OR take 1 matching creature card from the Wilderness (market) into your hand.
- Bonus: Collect all eggs on the two hexes covered by your crew member. Activate any action icons on those hexes.
2. Play Cards (Expand Reserve)
Play up to 2 cards from your hand into your reserve.
- Cost: Pay the resources printed in the top-left corner of the card.
- Effects: "Instant" lightning bolts trigger once. "Permanent" infinity symbols are active from now on. "Recharge" icons only trigger during the "Recharge" action.
3. Claim Achievement
Choose one of the 3 face-up achievements.
- Requirement: Your reserve must display all required icons (on cards or eggs).
- Reward: Take a trophy (victory points), place your marker, and unlock your Captain ability. You cannot play any more cards during this turn.
4. Recharge (Reset)
Only possible if all 3 of your crew members are on the board.
- Retrieve: Return all figures to your supply.
- Time Stone: Advance the time stone. If it reaches an egg symbol, replenish eggs on the board and refresh the card market (Wilderness).
- Effects: Activate all cards in your reserve that have a "Recharge" icon. Hand limit: 5.
End of Game & Scoring
The game ends when the last trophy is taken.
- Points on all cards in your reserve (some cards give bonus points for sets).
- Points for trophies (3 each) and achievement slots.
- Leftover resources: 4 items (resources/nets) = 1 point.
