How it plays
Score the most prosperity while helping protect Vanuatu’s islands from rising seas. Place action markers, then resolve actions where you have priority to sail, explore, build houses or dikes, fish, trade, and host tourists. After eight rounds, the most prosperous player wins, but flooding can remove house points, sink islands, or end the game early with no winner.
Main mechanics
- Co-operative
- Hidden roles & bluffing
- Co-operative: Everyone wins or loses together against the game.
- Hidden roles & bluffing: Somebody at the table is not who they claim to be.
Full publisher description
Global warming threatens Vanuatu. Many islands are in danger of disappearing under the sea due to rising waters. Players will therefore have to unite to protect the islands by building dikes. However, the interests of one are not necessarily the interests of others. Vanuatu: The Rising Waters , the first extension for Vanuatu , adds an option (as part of the Build action) for players to build dikes to protect islands from rising waters. Water can reduce a player's points from houses, submerge an island completely, and even end the game early with no winner.
