To setup the Island randomly pick 1 Island Board per player and arrange them to form the Island as shown in our example.

2-player map example

4-player map example

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.

Add Cities, Towns, Dahan, and Blight to the board in the lands indicated by the setup icons.

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.

Place the Invader Board on one side of the play area.
