Blue Lagoon is an area control & set collection game in which players manage a group of settlers spreading out over the islands of a newly discovered archipelago The game is played over two phases (the exploration phase followed by the settlement phase) Over the course of both phases you will expand your presence on the board by adding one new token each turn (either a settler or a village token) The goal is to collect the resources scattered over the map by placing your tokens on top of them In the first phase you can place a new token anywhere you like as long as it is touching either the lagoon OR one of your previously played tokens In the second phase the board is cleared except for the villages & now you can only expand from the villages you played in the first phase! At the end of both phases players score points for the sets of resources they collected Most points wins Players 2-4 Playing time 30-45 mins Ages 8
