''Isolated in the vast oceans lies a mysterious land, unscarred by the wrath of nomican kind. Volcanic eruption is a regular hazard of the region, completely reorganising the seabed. Rumour has it that a curse is to blame. Now you - of the skeptical kind - stand on a beach, crystal waters lapping at your heels as you gaze out towards the dormant volcano towering above the peaceful isle. Recalling this, a laugh escapes your lips.''

The Archipelago is composed of a grid of hexagons, with each hexagon representing a variable tile. Initially The Archipelago is _________. Each player must select two starting locations (vertices) before performing other game actions. They place a settlement at each, then place two roads (see [[User:Xenon dichloride/Archipelago#Construction|Construction]]).

== Tiles ==
The following types of tiles exist:
 
* Grassy - Produces Sheep
* Forestry - Produces Wood
* Grainy - Produces Wheat
* Mountainy - Produces Stone
* Clayy - Produces Brick
* Sandy
* Wet
 
== Resources ==
The following resources exist:
 
* Sheep
* Wood
* Wheat
* Stone
* Brick
 
When a player joins for the first time they recieve 2 Wheat, 1 Wood and 1 Stone.
 
== Values ==
Each tile except for 'Sandy' or 'Wet' is randomly assigned an integer value between 2 and 12 (inclusive) from a pool of 4 instances of each number, without replacement.
 
Every day, one player may roll two six sided dice. The result determines which tiles produce resources.
 
== Production ==
When a tile is determined to produce resources, all players with settlements on a vertex of that tile receive 1 of the resource for each settlement, and 2 for each city, on a vertex of that tile.
 
== Construction ==
Players can construct buildings at any times provided they have the resources to pay the cost. A player can only construct buildings adjacent to '''their''' other buildings. No building can be constructed on an edge or vertex of a 'Wet' tile.
 
The following buildings can be constructed:


== Tiles ==
* Settlement - Costs 1 Sheep, 1 Wood, 1 Wheat, 1 Brick
The following tiles
Must be connected by at least two roads two another settlement or city, placed on vertexes. Grants 1 Victory Point (VP).
* Road - Costs 1 Wood, 1 Brick
Placed on edges.
* City - Costs 2 Wheat, 3 Stone
Replaces a settlement. Grants 2 VP.
 
== Trades ==
Two players may trade resources at any time.
 
== Seasons ==
After 3 Phases have passed (a season), The Archipelago resets. The player with the highest VP gains 4 Reputation Points (RP), second 2 RP and third 1 RP.
 
After 12 Phases (4 seasons), the winner of the Cycle is the player or players with the greatest RP.


== Values: ==
The player with the highest VP of the previous season may choose to randomly generate a new Archipelago of a size they choose, or create one. Another player must choose their starting locations before the past season winner.
Each tile is randomly assigned a value between 1 and 12 (inclusive) from a pool of without replacement
