Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- close drafting / drafting-right — Players draft from two top cards, then pick from the top of a subsequent column; each island end yields a new board with new objectives; you cross off actions and aims to maximize points across multiple islands.
- Closed Drafting — Players draft from two top cards, then pick from the top of a subsequent column; each island end yields a new board with new objectives; you cross off actions and aims to maximize points across multiple islands.
- closed drafting / island progression — Two-card draft per round; players build out an island, chasing goals and placing items to score, with changing objectives per island.
