Table feel

Moderate level of interaction with a good balance between direct and strategic confrontation. Players need to pay attention to others' actions frequently, but there is less emphasis on cooperation.

Replay value

Laguna has a high replayability score due to its high variability gameboard, expansions available, strategic depth, scalability, and moderate easiness to learn.

Luck profile

Laguna has a moderate influence of luck. Random elements like dice rolls or card draws have a notable but not exclusive impact on the game outcome. Players have substantial ability to mitigate randomness through strategic decisions and planning. The game outcome is primarily determined by player strategy and decisions, with luck playing a minor role.

Overview

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.
