Summer Islands – The Board Game. Round by round, players build hotels and attractions along an expanding island road. Tourists arrive by ferry at a different side of the island each time and start moving based on dice rolls – where they end up is a mix of luck and strategy.
Summer Islands - The Board Game
Steam
Welcome to Summer Islands – a sunny strategy game where it’s not about relaxing, but about building an empire! In this analog version of the popular video game, 2 to 4 players become resort investors competing for the biggest share of the tourist market. Who will attract the most visitors – and who will be left with empty hotel beds?
Summer Islands combines easy-to-learn rules with tactical depth and a modular game board that forms a new island layout every session. Players take turns building hotels and attractions while tourists arrive by ferry and move across the island via dice rolls – and the ferry docks at a different side each round.
Economy meets luck:
Success depends on smart investments and positioning. Place your hotels in the right spots and influence tourist movement to your advantage – but beware: if your hotels are full, you’ll pay compensation, and careless moves might send tourists to your opponents.
With 3D terrain blocks and endless layout combinations, no two games are the same. Use the online map generator, play through preset missions, or design your own island for a personalized experience.
Summer Islands is perfect for casual players and seasoned strategists alike. And for those who crave more action, the game can be expanded with volcanoes, wild animals, natural wonders, and round-based events.
Summer Islands – The Board Game is a vibrant blend of strategy, economy, and chaos. Build smart, guide the tourists your way, and become king of the island – no sunscreen required!
