Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Attractive looking action game with players moving rafts around the lagoon, fishing for pearls to return to the island. The rafts have six spaces and as the different pearls are collected, they block the holes. But the board has directional arrows, and when a hole shows an arrow, the raft is forced in that way. Drift onto a reef and your turn ends. The game has sand timers, and you keep moving until time runs out, but get caught on an arrow and the currents will carry you away. Bump into another player's raft and you can steal pearls.
