Description

Get ready to set sail for adventure with Islebound: Emerald Edition, a fantasy nautical board game designed for 2 to 4 players. This special edition of the game offers a fresh twist on the original, with altered components and rules that are easy to learn. Players can expect to spend around 90 minutes exploring the high seas, collecting emeralds, and building their own towns. The emeralds are a game-changer, replacing the book resource from the original game and offering new uses, such as buying building cards and performing special abilities like keeping pirates and serpents after combat. In Islebound: Emerald Edition, you'll have the chance to collect emeralds when visiting player-owned towns or taking over new ones, and you'll need to use them strategically to get ahead. The building deck has been revised to account for the new emerald resource, with altered building cards from the original game and the Metropolis expansion. With its unique blend of fantasy and nautical themes, Islebound: Emerald Edition is a thrilling addition to any board game collection. Published in 2024, this base game is a great starting point for new players, and its compatibility with other games, such as Above and Below, adds to its replay value.
