About the game
What you do in a play session
Oceania introduces a brand-new island map, brimming with 16 unique specimens inspired by the region's rich biodiversity. Your player boards have been reimagined, bringing exclusive bonuses to give that special touch to your strategies. The main board has also received a complete makeover, with new locations like the Post Office, University, Village Campsites (including Silver and Golden ones!), and the mysterious Map Lens Locations.
The big highlight is the Hazard Track mechanic. It adds a layer of risk and reward to the game: accumulating hazards can bring penalties, but whoever is at the top of the track gains a powerful strategic bonus. This expansion promises to deepen the Darwin's Journey experience, adding more challenges, tactical decisions, and that genuine sense of exploration we all love. It's the perfect pick for those who want more of that combo of strategy and scientific discovery!
