Overview

In Tobago, players become treasure hunters exploring a modular island in search of hidden riches. The game board is built from hexagonal tiles, creating a unique landscape each time you play. Players use clue cards in their hand to narrow down the potential locations of buried treasure, influencing the dig site and hoping to be the first to excavate.

The core gameplay revolves around a blend of deduction and press-your-luck as players lay clues and decide when to initiate a dig. The more clues laid, the more specific the treasure location becomes, but also the more players involved in potentially sharing the loot. Players navigate the island, strategically playing clues and managing their hand to outwit their opponents and claim the most valuable treasures.
