About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey board game fans! If you enjoyed the vibe of 'Juicy Fruits' and were curious about what else this fruity paradise has to offer, get ready: a mysterious island has been discovered and is now part of the fun in 'Juicy Fruits: Mystic Island'! This expansion introduces a new module that throws you right into this unknown land, where you'll explore using your explorer figure. The trick here is that the timing of your movements on the island can earn you extra points – so, think carefully before you misstep!

Besides the main island, this gem comes with two more additions to spice things up: the boulder module and new trade tiles. These are three modules in total that you can mix and match with the base game, giving new life and more replayability to your collection. The idea is that you can add these elements gradually or all at once, adapting the complexity and gameplay experience to your liking. Whether you're a veteran of 'Juicy Fruits' looking for new challenges or someone who wants to give their games a boost, this expansion promises to bring more strategy and fun to the table. It's a chance to explore the unknown and perhaps discover new fruit combinations and strategies!

With the addition of these new mechanics and components, 'Mystic Island' not only expands the map but also the tactical depth of the game. Resource management and movement prediction become even more crucial with the introduction of new objectives and challenges. Get ready to explore, trade, and of course, collect lots of delicious fruits!
