Step2.TEAMDrawaChanceCard!

The team draws 1 Chance Card from the deck, and follows its instructions. - This could be good or bad, serious or silly! - Hint:If the card prevents a player from talking this round, you can always write or act. The journey must go on…

Step3.INDIVIDUALEachplayerplaysanActionCard.

Players take turns playing 1 of their 3 Action Cards. Youcanchooseto:

1. Buildresilienceonanisland:This reduces future damage to the Marianas Health Meter when a

Flood, Typhoon, or Drought hits that island 1 to the Health Impact Chart). - If you do this, place the appropriate ResilienceTokenon the island of your choice. - These Resilience Tokens don’t go away once they’re used! Once you’ve built flood/drought/typhoon resilience on an island, it stays the whole game. 2. Healtheislands: This increases the Marianas Health Meter immediately. - If you do this, move the coconut sprout up the Health Meter by 1 (up to 3, if players add on). 3. Traveltothenextisland:This allows your team’s canoe to sail using TravelTokens. The number of tokens needed depends on the number of players. Tokens are stored in the “Travel Token Pool” on the gameboard. - Once your team has enough Travel Tokens, you can move your canoe to the next island. Discard the used Travel Tokens (you must build them up again). Your team must travel the islands in the order shown on the game board.
