Place the game board on either the 2 Player side or 3 Player side based on the number of players in the game.

For a Solo game, use the 2 Player side of the game board.

The Island is made up of 2 or 3 “boards”, depending on whether you’re playing on the 2 player or 3 player side.

Each Island board has 1 Ocean, and 2 of each land type on it: Jungles, Mountains, Sands, and Wetlands.

Each individual land on each board has a number in it, acting as a helpful reference label for that land, as well as a number of black icons, indicating what gets added to that land during setup.

1 City token

1 Town token

1 Dahan token

1 Blight token

Add one City, Town, Dahan, and Blight token to the board for each setup icon present in the lands.

Note: The Blight added to the board as part of setup does not come from the Blight Pool, but from the box. Add Blight to the Blight Pool after adding Blight to the indicated lands.
