ALK GAMES

In Island of Gems, you are an islander preparing for tourists to visit Gem Island by decorating the beaches with colorful gems.  The rules are very simple:  if you place a gem, you must place it in the section corresponding to where the previously player placed theirs.  For example, if you place a gem in the bottom left corner of a section, the next player must place theirs in the bottom left section of the board.  The board is divided into nine sections, each with nine squares.  At the end of the game, the player with the most seashells wins.  They will receive them by completing patterns, having majorities and by completing objectives.  With options for a dynamic board (randomized sections), extra advanced objective cards and a main objective for everyone to attempt, Island of Gems is simple yet strategic and takes only 15-30 minutes to play.
