Dream Islands (2016)

About this game

At first glance, a visit to Dream Islands might seem like haphazard island hopping. The tourists, however, are moving from island to island based on the tactical considerations of the players, who each have three goals in mind based on their order cards. One such card might require the assembling of vacationers on one or several atolls, while another calls for a majority presence on an island. Thus, in Dream Islands players must tactically budget their movement points in order to send the tourists where they need them to go.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
