The game is played through a series of rounds. Each round, players plan their day choosing to rest, move or research. One player will roll all 5 movement dice, picking up a threat card if they rolled a 1. Players who chose to rest recover their lowest value die, those who chose to explore can select a die result to explore Isla, and those who chose to research will select a card from the pool showing the flora, fauna or fossil they’ve discovered to earn themselves victory points.
