Ilos

Strategic card game Discover the new world of Ilôs, which consists of countless islands. Search for temples, gold and other riches. Using your cards, you explore the islands, bring in new ships and build forts and trading posts. Who will be the most prosperous discoverer of Ilôs? At the start of the game you receive 5 action cards and, depending on the actions you have performed with them, 3 or more are added after each turn.

You can also use ships as pirates to make things more difficult for other players. With your pioneers you can, for example, exploit plantations and gold mines, build buildings or plunder ruins. In this way you try to obtain as many valuable raw materials as possible. However, its value is manipulated by the players. Whoever ultimately collects the most valuable products wins the game!
