Islands in the Mist*

Islands lie hidden beneath a thick fog. As players navigate their balloon over the islands, the fog clears, revealing breathtaking landscapes. Skillful use of local winds is crucial for conserving energy, which is needed to accelerate or decelerate.

Players explore the nearby landscape by placing tiles on adjacent fields, leading to the construction of cities, monuments, and growing landscapes. The first player can gain additional landscape tiles, while the last player, despite receiving only one tile, gets the advantage of determining the wind direction. The game concludes when a player has connected all landscapes to their balloon yard.
