How to play Lost Island
Lost Island starts you on a beach with a blank chart. The map fills in around you as you walk, and landmarks appear on it as soon as they come into view: a lookout on the high ground, carved stones, springs, fruit groves and the places that hold what you need to build a boat. The panel beside the chart lists exactly what this island asks for — a set of boat parts, a sighting of the one gap in the reef, and a launch from the cove that faces it. Each part says where it is found, so a shipwreck means walking the shore and a vine thicket means pushing into the jungle.
Every step costs supplies: one on beach and grassland, two in jungle and hills. Hills let you see further, and jungle hides what is around you. Climbing the lookout puts the whole reef on your chart, and the carved stones mark every part you still need. Run out of supplies and you collapse, waking at the landing with a little strength back. The third collapse strands you.
A voyage is five islands. They grow larger as you go, ask for more boat parts, grow more jungle and hide less food. Charting land, finding landmarks and recovering parts all score, and every escape adds a bonus for the supplies you still carry, plus another hundred points if you charted at least nine-tenths of the island.
Objective
Find every boat part, sight the reef passage and launch from the cove on five islands in a row, without collapsing three times.
