Product Description
New islands have emerged from the ocean and as scientists, you must research the new, developing ecosystems present there! Watch the islands on the board grow in three dimensions as you learn more about them, and add colorful plants and animals to each island as you explore their ecosystems. Each round, earn points by rolling your dice and using them to collect research and make discoveries. All players start with the same research board, however throughout the game you’ll be able to modify your own board and change what you’re researching. After 8 rounds, score points based on how flourished and bio-diverse your islands are and varying research objectives.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2024This game was actually pretty fun to play. Took a little bit to learn, but not as long as other games I've tested. In the end, the concept is pretty simple. Was fun for the whole family.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2024A very fun game for the family. The pieces are durable and likely to last. Easy to follow directions, but enough fun to keep multiple ages engaged.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2023This game was just okay. I played it with some friends and one of them described it as "pretty boring considering that we had a 3-way tie until we remembered a scoring rule we forgot". And even then it was close game all four of us picked different strategies to focus on with various levels of success. We finally started to really understand the game around the 2nd/3rd to last round of play.
It may be better the second time around, but I think first impressions in game play affect how often you suggest it in future game nights.
Visual design wise, I really like the game. It looks nice and is visually appealing.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2024Interesting game to play. Nice designs and all pieces are well executed. Rules were easy to learn. Looks as pictured.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024Rulebook:
Mostly clear but you will want to keep it handy as a reference until you learn how to play. Great illustrations throughout to help.
Components:
Excellent. You have thick cardboard, wooden pieces, dice, and serviceable cardstock. Not deluxe by any stretch of the imagination but still really good. Love the artwork!
Gameplay:
This game offers an engaging experience once you invest time to understand its mechanics. While it may not be great for new gamers, anyone 11-12 years old should be able to run with it. It takes at least one gameplay to really figure out what is going on, and then on future games it has more of a flow. There are dice so if you don't like that mechanic then stay away. However, there are mechanics to help lessen the impact of bad dice rolls. It took about 90 minutes to play but if everyone knows what is going on, and how to best achieve the goal cards, you can probably cut 20-30 minutes off that time. Overall, it is a good game but you need to know your audience and players before just breaking it out. Recommend it!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2024So, overall, we like this game. It's well made. The issue is that if you have the wrong group of people together when you're learning it the first time...it puts a bad taste in your mouth. I highly recommend getting just the people who REALLY want to learn the game to play it first, before inviting anyone who might only be mildly interested. It's not that it's hard, but it is a lot to remember at first.
Overall though it's a neat game.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2023This game is a lot of fun. It takes a little bit of setup, but the instructions make it really easy to lay out. The rules are pretty simple, especially compared to other world building type games. In the end, you're just trying to build more and score more points than your competitors.
Most of the pieces are cardboard punch outs and they all pop out of the sheets without any trouble or tearing. The painted wood pieces feel and look great. Everything fits well into the box, although some of the pieces stick up a little more than the others, so it's not perfectly flat inside.
The game seems to take around an hour, and you can play with two or four players. It might have been nice to have a little more flexibility in the player count, but overall it's not a big thing.
FINAL WORD: If you're looking for an entertaining game of world building that isn't too complex, this is a great option for you to try!

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2023Overall the game is easy to learn and teach but a player aid would've been greatly appreciated. Even though the game is relatively simple a small card with the steps on it would've eliminated the need for referencing the rulebook during the game. There are also a couple of instances in the rules that seem contradictory.
The production is pretty good but not great. The islands and tiles are fine and the wood components are nice. The player boards are very thin and could definitely be improved. The gameboard is much longer than it needs to be. It could easily have been sized down to a more reasonable length. The insert seems
like they started to design one to fit the components and then halfway through they decided not to bother after all.
The gameplay was just okay to me. It feels both too long and too short at the same time. 8 rounds are not enough to comeback in if you have repeated bad dice rolls. There are ways to mitigate the dice but if your opponents are not having the same issue then you will consistently be behind. For a game that is over an hour long that can be very unsatisfying.
Bottom line for me is that it is one I might play if someone else wanted to but I don't feel compelled to reach for it again.
