Description

In Vanuatu, you'll navigate the challenges of island life as a Vanuatuan looking to prosper over eight turns. Managing natural resources, rare items, and local currency is key to earning money or prosperity points. You can draw on the sand, transport tourists around the islands, or trade cargo with foreign countries to get ahead. Each turn, the archipelago expands and you'll need to program your actions with five tokens, competing with other players for majority control of action spaces. With a mix of development, blocking, and interaction, Vanuatu is a strategic game that requires careful planning. Be quick to claim resources and take advantage of opportunities, and don't be afraid to block your opponents' moves. With the help of special characters and a dynamic board, every game is unique. Whether you're playing with two or five players, Vanuatu offers a fun and challenging experience that's sure to keep you engaged for its 90-minute playtime.
