Balance Island

Treasures need to be balanced

Players are courageous pirates who want to steal the treasure chests belonging to the pirate ghost called Fishbeard. They steal them from the ruins and bring them with their raft to their ship. The raft can only carry two chests at a time and must be balanced to transport chests. One marble is placed into each chest, identical colors denote identical weight, and the chests are distributed on the colored spots in the ruins.

Then the die is rolled: If the pirate ghosts stands on the footprint in the color just rolled Fishbeard recovers two chests from the ship. They are placed on two spots, as far apart as possible. If Fishbeard does not stand on the not, you pick up one of the chests on the spots of the color rolled. You try to describe the weight to the other players and place the chest on the raft. If there is no chest left on the color rolled, you can pick any chest. Then all players debate which chest in the ruins might have the same weight. The chosen chest is placed on the raft, too. If the raft now is balanced the two chests can be transported and are placed on the ship. If not, they are put back into the ruins on their color spots and the pirate ghost moves one step. When all chests are in the ship, players have won together. When the pirate ghost reaches the purple footprint, all players have lost together and Fishbeard has won.

Schätzinsel is a well-balanced mix of mechanisms, all of them also teach certain skills – you need memory, a sense of weight and balance and the ability to express yourself well to give your fellow players an idea of the weight of the chest you picked.
