Finally! After a long boat trip, the treasure hunters have reached the island of Karuba and can begin exploring for hidden treasures. Who will lead their expedition team along the smartest route through the jungle trails, pay attention to the other players and keep an eye out for gold and crystals along the way? The most important thing is to start running in time!

Hurry up and be the first to reach the temples to gather the treasure. But be careful! Many paths have dead ends- so you need to be patient and attentive in order to discover the best way through the jungle. The expedition team with the most valuable treasures wins the game.

  • An addictive tile-based puzzle game that's simple to learn, while giving the player plenty of important decisions to make along the way.
  • Premise: A team of adventurers gets dropped off on the beach of a mysterious island and set off through the jungle to hunt for treasure, their ultimate goal to gather the most treasure.
  • Lay your tiles on a grid to form paths in a fast-paced strategy game, racing against other players to collect the most treasure first. The faster you are, the more points you earn. Every game plays differently!

Ava ★★★★★

Even though I'm not usually a fan of tile-laying games, the race to connect paths to the temples kept everyone engaged for the full 40 minutes. The simple setup and clear rules meant we were exploring the island within five minutes of opening the box.

Joshua ★★★★★

The 30-40 minute playtime is perfect for a weeknight—we got three rounds in before anyone lost interest. The tile-laying keeps everyone engaged even when it's not your turn, since you're all racing to claim the same treasures.

James ★★★★★

The tile-laying mechanic keeps everyone engaged even between turns, and 30-40 minutes is the perfect length for a weeknight game. My group fought over the crystal paths right up to the final scoring.
