The game is played in a number of rounds, going until the marker reaches the end of the track on the business board. At the bottom of this board, the ice cream and milkshake markers are placed. There is a track on the right of this board which monitors how many businesses have been created.
The business board is set up on the table with one business per player in each of the five rows. The outside edges of the island are filled with boats (both simple and complex types). In an X pattern in the middle, the five collector tokens are randomly placed (one for each type of fruit: banana, lime, pomegranate, orange and mangosteen). Each player gets an island board that has a 5×5 grid on it. In this game, players are trying to have the most successful island – by collecting fruit and then using it to supply ships and attract businesses to the island. One of the releases from 2021 is Juicy Fruits, a game designed by half of the team that won the 2020 Spiel des Jahres for Pictures. Played 5 times with review copy provided by publisherĬapstone Games is a label that I generally associate with longer complex games – but they have started a new Family line of games to target this more mainstream group.
