You must be logged in to post a review.
Land your crew on the island of SOL, a highly colorful but forgotten island in the Atlantic Ocean, then pit your skills against another team to find and (more importantly) leave the island with the treasure of the God of the Sun.
In SOL, players divide into two teams: adventurers vs. conquistadors, with each team having three or four characters. Each character has movement, fighting, and search skills; inventory for two or three items; and a unique special ability for use in the advanced game.
On a turn, all of the characters on one team act first, one after another, then the opposite team goes. During your turn, use your action points to move your character and search on the island. If you meet someone from the other team, you can fight them, whether to steal the treasure or simply to set them back. When you search, you might find move and fight tokens to save for the future; flags that let you claim a dock on the island to make it easier to leave; or clues to the treasure. The clue tokens let you play cards, and those cards determine where the treasure will be found — ideally in a spot more advantageous for you than the other team.
Once the final clue has been found, the treasure is up for grabs, with a team needing to have one of its characters possess it on a dock to which they have access at the start of their turn. Thus, holding it isn’t enough as the other team can possibly steal it away on their turn.

The design of the board and accessories is very nice, and the game play mechanics is original and pleasant. However, after a few games, I got the feeling that, no matter what you do during the game, the winner is decided in the very last turns. I understand that people may like it for the fun atmosphere, but I found it too complex for a party game, and too shallow for a strategy game.

Fun treasure hunter game, the times we played it was always fun. Off course, this game needs players who can enjoy a game of a little luck and just random fun. If you look for deep strategy semi-coop, this isn't your game. If you want to have fun and a laughter, this game is not going to let you down.

Production quality = awesome+ This one surprised us - and scaled surprisingly well but agree fun with about 6 The iterative logic did add to the explore focus Subsequent plays did vary. Fun w a group, and fairly easy to teach (explaining the approach to finding the treasure just takes a little time - but everyone caught on pretty quickly).
