In Zaginione Wyspy you’re the captain of the ship and your aim is to gain points by collecting treasures closed in towers. Towers, keys to the towers – crystals and other items are hidden in the water maze which is explored during the game.
Board is created by turned down tiles arranged in a square 10 to 10. Large central tile represents a field of Cyclopes – guards of treasures.
During round each player can explore part of water maze by reversing one tile or sail along the maze, doing 3 moves, when the tiles are already reversed. There are 4 types of towers (blue, green, red and yellow), each in 3 heights and 5 type of crystals (blue, green, red, yellow and black – joker crystal). To get the treasure player has to put crystals in appropriate colour and number into the tower. When player finds crystals he/she can take it or leave it on the board. Taking the crystal makes that player is chased by Cyclopes. There are few ways to avoid attack of Cyclopes – one of them is for example to put the crystal to the tower. Player can find also other items – for example parrots nest. Parrot is a kind of helper and can collect crystals and treasures. Winner of is the one who first gets the right amount of points.
