Vanuatu (Second Edition)

Grid Movement

Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.

Hexagon Grid

The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.

Lose a Turn

Certain actions or events can cost you a turn — avoiding that penalty becomes part of your strategy.

Map Addition

New areas get added to the map as you play — the world literally grows as the game goes on.

Modular Board

The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.

Turn Order: Claim Action

You grab turn order by claiming a specific action — being first has its perks if you plan for it.
