About the game

What you do in a play session

If you've already braved the islands of Robinson Crusoe and felt the discoveries were becoming predictable, get ready! This small expansion, the Discovery Tokens, brings a breath of fresh air to your fight for survival. It includes seven new items ready to be found, each with the potential to change the course of the game, for better or worse. And to keep track of this new batch of treasures (or traps!), everything comes with a handy velvet bag. The language dependency is minimal, as the tokens themselves don't carry much text, making memorization and immersion easier. The Worker Placement mechanic remains central, but these new finds can directly influence the actions you and your team decide to take. Simultaneous Action Selection and Dice Rolling continue to be crucial elements in overcoming the island's challenges. The cooperative nature of the game is intensified, as discovering a new item can benefit or harm the entire group, requiring sharp communication and strategy. The modular board ensures that each exploration is unique, and these new tokens add another layer of unpredictability and excitement. If you're a fan of Robinson Crusoe and are looking for that extra dash of surprise and challenge, this expansion is a valuable find for your collection, maintaining the essence of adventure and exploration that made the base game a classic.
