“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”

Experience the adventure of exploring unknown islands! Each game presents new and unique challenges, for the board is different every time you play.
On your turn place an explorer ship on a circle field on one of the three sides of the game board and draw a sea tile. Place the tile if it fits, i.e. when water borders water and land borders land. Throughout game-play a fascinating seascape unfolds before your eyes. The size and arrangement of the islands on the board is different in each game!
In the 2-player variant, you and your opponent seek to claim the biggest islands in Oceania. The most successful explorer is the victor.
Or you can be your own opponent in the solo variant. You will seek out larger, more valuable islands as the game challenges you to beat your own record score.

Mayfair Games was a game publisher founded in 1981 by Darwin Bromley in Chicago. They started with the railroad game Empire Builder and soon expanded to role-playing game supplements. In 1993, they faced a lawsuit from TSR, Inc. over trademark issues but continued publishing until TSR bought the rights.
In 1996, Mayfair brought The Settlers of Catan to the US market. Financial troubles in 1997 led to a bailout by Iron Crown Enterprises, which restarted Mayfair under a new name. Pete Fenlon became CEO in 2007, focusing on Catan products, which sold over 750,000 units by 2013. In 2016, Mayfair transferred Catan rights to Catan Studio under the Asmodee Group, with Fenlon moving to the new company. Larry Roznai, who joined in 1999, was the last CEO. Mayfair Games sold its assets to Asmodée Éditions North America and shut down on February 9, 2018.
