Since 2014, Archipelago: War & Peace has captivated fans of worker placement and tile placement with its medium complexity design.
How It Plays
Area Majority / Influence
You're competing to have the most presence in key areas on the board — think of it like a friendly turf war.
Auction / Bidding
Players bid against each other for cards, tiles, or resources — knowing when to go big and when to fold is the key.
Hexagon Grid
The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.
Modular Board
The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
Tile Placement
You lay tiles on the table to build a map, landscape, or pattern — every piece you place changes the board.
Trading
You can swap resources or cards with other players — making clever trades can give you a serious edge.
Worker Placement
You place your workers on action spaces to claim them before anyone else — it's a scramble for the best spots!
