PLAYED FOR YOU

Robinson Crusoe: Die Fahrt der Beagle

Campaign on Darwins JOurney

This expansion for Robinson Crusoe: Abenteuer auf der verfluchten Insel is based on events that took place on board of HMS Beagle. You embody a crew member and must cope with events in the various scenarios and assist Darwin in his research. The five scenarios are always based on the previous one and combine to a complete campaign. The box also contains some campaign-independent components and can be used at your discretion with the core game or this expansion.

As the results of a scenario influence the next scenario, you need to play the scenarios in order and with the same characters (as regards to number and type), you also cannot change the sequence of characters.  When a character dies, the scenario has been lost, but can be repeated and there are also helpful instructions if you insist on playing a scenario out of order on its own or forgot to make a note of results. Aim of the game is to accumulate as many Knowledge points as possible by surviving all scenarios and meeting the victory conditions of all scenarios.

Scenarios are: 1 - Darwin collects examples of flora and fauna; 2 - storm damage on the Beagle must repaired and the Beagle must leave the island; 3 - An ocean trip must be mastered and nautical data collected; 4 - Tribes of an island must be explored; 5 - The crew succumbs to a heavy illness and you need to secure the samples taken in scenario 1.

An expansion that not only improves the core game, but raises it to an outstanding expert level; a fantastic gaming experience with enormous depth and intense mood which you will have on the table again and again to repeat the experience and to improve your results.
