Description
In Tobago the adventure begins when you assemble
the modular board into one of 32 different scenarios. Then three types of
monuments are placed randomly around the board. Somewhere on the island,
four different treasures are buried. The adventurers now use clue cards
to narrow down and finally identify exactly where each of the buried treasures
are located. Now, the race is on to get your ATV across the various
terrain tiles to be the first to arrive at and claim a buried treasure.
Once the treasure is claimed, treasure cards will come into play to
distribute the treasure amongst the adventurers who contributed clue cards for
that treasure. Powerful amulets become available on the board once a treasure is raised and distributed. These amulets are
claimed by racing your ATV in the same manner as you do for the treasures.
Amulets grant powers that help players in almost every aspect of the
game. The game ends after the treasure card deck runs out, but not before
the treasure is distributed.
