	Description Edit \| History

From Teuber's official website:

"On your turn place an explorer ship on a circle field on one of the three sides of the game board and draw a sea tile. Place the tile if it fits, i.e. when water borders water and land borders land. Throughout game-play a fascinating seascape unfolds before your eyes. The size and arrangement of the islands on the board is different in each game!"

Scout Exploration Variant V 1.0.0

The objective of this variant is to add a bit more strategy, reduce a bit the randomness of the game and make the reserve tiles more useful. You only need the original game to play this variant.
