| La Isla Ravensburger |
In La Isa you have a team of 5 explorers that you will send to the tropical island of La Isla searching and collecting creatures considered extinct ages ago. You will play cards to perform special functions, receive key resources, and to score victory points for the creatures you have collected.
The game board is made up of various shaped tiles placed randomly around a 10-sided central tile. There are 45 animal tokens consisting of 5 different types. Only 35 of the animal tokens will be in play in a given game. Each player will have a team of 6 figurine explorers one of which will be a scoring marker.
