Island Archipelago

Seven islands in a turquoise lagoon and a thin strip of mainland. Land is precious: bridge the gaps, run ferries and build out to the far island.

Very little land, and it isn’t cheap. The lagoon is protected: bridges and ferries only, no land reclamation.

An old ferry still putters across to Main Island, but the rest of the archipelago is palm trees and seabirds. Buy the islands you need, string them together with raised walkways and ferries, and turn the lagoon into the most beautiful park on the coast.

Island Archipelago is about joining land. The lagoon is protected, so there is no land reclamation: guests reach the islands over raised walkways and by ferry. Land costs one and a half times the usual price, so each island you buy has to earn its keep.

The climate is tropical, with hot days and sudden showers, and the kit is full of water rides and the Jungle Adventure theme. The goal needs four islands linked to the gate along with a big crowd and a good rating.

Island Archipelago is a 80 × 80 tile map of seven islands in a lagoon and a strip of mainland, played on the Standard setting, with the weather tropical: hot, with sudden showers.
