Many stories are told about the Lost Island, but those who have gone have never returned. Fishermen and sailors speak of impossible landscapes and unique creatures. "I am completely surrounded by mountains and the rivers are going uphill!" One exclaims, "No! Actually there is a forest that crosses the island from end to end whose trees are as high as a hill ': They all have some truth in their stories ... In this roll & write game each player must draw different types of territories on his sheet, trying to fulfill as best as possible 4 different scoring criteria different in each game. On his turn the Active player must decide what type of territory is going to be drawn that turn, roll the dice and choose a result to define the amount he wants to draw of the chosen territory. The rest of the players must choose the amount from the remaining dice and draw the type of territory chosen by the active player. As the active player you must choose carefully what to draw because you have a limited use for each type of territory. When a player cannot draw on his map the game ends and the points are counted according to the 4 criteria selected at the beginning of the game.
